I Have A Friend

I have a friend, who knows a friend,
Who’s met a friend of mine.
One of them’s sick; one of them’s dead,
And the other one’s just fine.

One’s called Peter; one’s called John,
And the other one’s called Paul.
Peter’s fat; John was skinny,
And Paul is very tall.

Peter lives in America,
John used to live in Japan,
Paul lives in Beijing,
And thinks he knows everything.

Peter works in an office,
John used to work in a shop.
And Paul works in a petrol station,
To serve people when they stop.

This is the end of my poem,
This is the end of my rhyme.
I hope you enjoyed it,
And had a really good time.
