to Jean
and Frank
and Marian
and Paul
and Matthew
and Joy
and Austin
and people
like that
I like you
And I know why
I like you because
You are a good person
To like
I like you because
When I tell you something special
You know it’s special
And you remember it
A long long time
You say remember when
you told me
Something special
And both of us remember
When I think something is important
You think it’s important too
We have good ideas
When I say something funny
You laugh
I think I’m funny and
You think I’m funny too
Hah-hah
I like you because
You know where I’m ticklish
And you don’t tickle me there
except
Just a little tiny bit
sometimes
stop
stop stop
help
help
But if you do then I know where to tickle you too
