Mr. Somebody

Mr. Somebody

Yes, that's me.

You know, I am the one that Everyone

calls in need of assistance or

Someone blames when in trouble.

I hear it a lot, don't you?

"Somebody tie my shoes!"

or

"Can Somebody feed the dog?"

What's that?

You say you have not seen me before?

I don't see how you could not, but that's

what Everyone says.

So, I am used to it.

Of course, if a person calls for me

Someone gets there before I do.

I do not know why but that is the way it happens.

Well, now that you know me, let me introduce you

to some of my friends.

Someone, No-one, Everyone,

Nobody, Anyone and me Somebody.

It gets confusing here at times,

like when I ask

Everyone if Someone

cleaned the kitchen.

They just said No-One did it,

So somehow it did get done.

Right now though, I need to see if

Anyone fed the dog.

-Mr. Somebody

I'm sure most of you big sisters can relate to this!
