It’s almost time for Science Night.

I need a partner who should I ask?

I have three friends who all want to help,

How can I choose just one for the task?

My best friend Jule is fun to be around.

But she’s as chatty as a bird.

When she starts to talk-just watch out!

I can’t get in a single word.

Still, that might work for Science Night;

She’d show our project to the crowd.

Jule’s voice would boom out like a drum

I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud!

And then there s Dan, who s really shy

But wise as an owl- he’s so smart? He’d

help with the thinking for the job.

He wouldn’t talk, but he’d do his part.

But what about Shel, who s good at art?

He paints and draws and sculpts so well.

Our project would look great no doubt!

I m sure I should be asking Shel.

How can I choose just one from three?

I need them all! l’ m feeling sick.

I’ m as dizzy as a spinning top.

When trying to choose I just can’t pick!

But wait—why not ask them all to help?

A group of four is better than one.

I’d love to work with all my friends.

In such a group, wed have such fun!

The work could be shared by four of us.

Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule.

We’d fit together like puzzle pieces.

And take the grand prize in the school!
