Verse:
Hello, what’s your name
How’s your day
It’s really nice to meet you
I smile when I say
Would you like to play
Or can can I touch your hair
Is that ok.
We like some of the same games
Some of the same things
Now we know
What’s good
In the hood
Play fort nite
Yes we should
You and Me
by Tiffany Wilson and Nate Bogopolsky
How can Irene and Charles work together on their fifth grade poetry project? They don’t know each other . . . and they’re not sure they want to.
