My First Best Friend

by Jack Prelutsky

 

My first best friend is Awful Ann-

she socked me in the eye.

My second best friend is Sneaky Sam-

he tried to swipe my pie.

My third best friend is Max the Rat-

he trampled on my toes.

My fourth best friend is Nasty Ned-

she almost broke my nose.

My fifth best friend is ted the Toad-

he kicked me in the knee.

My sixth best friend is Grumpy Gail-

she's always mean to me

My seveth best is Monster Moe-

he often plays too rough.

That's all the friends I've got right now-

I think I've got enough .
