It's pretty important to be real nice
When you ask for something for free.
This seems real simple, but you couldn't guess
How many folks don't do it graciously.
Even if you think it's just a small favor,
And you deserve it one hundred percent.
It's just not right to demand continued funding
From someone who is just trying to pay their own rent.
All it takes is kindness and maybe a pretty smile,
And even if you think you deserve it, don't get all entitled.
(People hate that quality in everybody
And it makes you look like a child.)
