I will be so wise,
You will be so surprised!
I would win every prize,
I wouldn't lose a single one!
But remember never cheat
To be more beautiful or more sweet.
Dress up in a blue costume,
Be yourself because when you try
To be like your friends
You hate yourself.
So be thankful who you are,
Even in November.
