Silly Lilly forgets her manners at the door.
She doesn’t say “hello” any more.

---

Silly Lilly doesn’t say “please”
When she asks her Mom to pass the cheese.

After her Daddy ties her shoe,
Silly Lilly forgets to say “thank you!”

---

When Silly Lilly pushes her brother’s knee
She doesn’t even say “excuse me!”

So Silly Lilly’s Mom sat her down.
And said, “It’s time for you to stop acting like a clown.”

---

“People who care talk nicely to each other,
They use good manners with their father, mother, and brother.”

“I’m sorry,” Lilly said.
And her face was a little red.

---

“I’ll carry my manners wherever I go,
And be the most polite girl you know!”
