4OV Poems about Kooki

Kooki spreads a message throughout the schoolTo be kind and caring and not a fool

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be cool just follow the rulesTo make the best of whatrsquos at schoolrdquoKooki is honest trustworthy and wise

ldquoDo be honest donrsquot tell liesI can see you all through my eyesTuck in your shirts fasten your tiesShow integrity and respect to allrdquo

Thatrsquos what I do and I always stand tall By Leah 4OV

Kooki says you have to careWhen playing games you have to share

Kooki says you must be kindTo people and students keep it in mindDo more exercise to stay in healthIf you donrsquot you wonrsquot be in wealthldquoNo wait stop You canrsquot be rude

You have to change if yoursquore in a bad moodrdquoKooki tells us the right thing to do

The thing I want to say to him is ldquoI love yourdquo By Stella 4OV
