[Rear view of boy] Politeness

If people ask me,

I always tell them:

“Quite well, thank you, I’m very glad to say.”

If people ask me,

I always answer,

“Quite well, thank you, how are you to-day?”

I always answer,

I always tell them,

If they ask me

Politely. . . .

BUT SOMETIMES

I wish

That they wouldn’t.
