What Does It Take To Be Nice? Poem by Ross DixPeek

What Does It Take To Be Nice?



What Does it Take to be Nice?


In truth, what does it take to be nice?
To proffer a compliment or two
Even a cursory nod will suffice,
Which for many is long overdue,
And you might just happen to see
Upon proffering a ready smile
A granite frown turn to glee,
And a happy face for a while,
It really does not take much
To light up a person’s day,
Nothing but a friendly touch,
And a few good words to say,
You see, naught can withstand
the magic of a friendly “Hello! ”
and nor can they misunderstand
a hale and hearty “Cheerio! ”
so before you growl and scowl,
and embark upon a diatribe,
or cry most fevered foul,
remember first to prescribe
a wave and a cheerful smile,
a most potent potion for the day,
makes it all so very worthwhile,
as you go upon your way!
