Goodness is Contagious He says shut up I say okay He says sit down I just obey I look at him He turns away But I still say hello Every single day He walked away When I came to stay I cooked him rice But he threw it away Here we are Yet another day He hates it when I chew and crunch He throws a punch But I still cook lunch Whatever he would do Didn’t change my mood Soon he discovered And he said something good The good in me changed his attitude Hello, he said How are you today This is a short poem About how good will prevail By Chukwubuikem ‘Ike’ Ekwueme
