Help me find this children’s poem!

[slmum]

There was a really funny poem about friendship - someone was my third best friend, yesterday they were my fourth and the person who was my best friend yesterday I’m not talking to any more etc etc

I thought it was Alan Ahlberg but I can’t find it in his books.

Does anyone remember it?

It sounds like a "Please, Mrs Butler" poem! I vaguely remember it too!

I’ve looked in please mrs butler and it’s not there - there’s a friendship one but not this…

Spike Milligan?

It’s not this one is it? www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-a-puzzle/

I immediately thought it was The Puzzle too.

no it isn’t. It definitely had ranks of friends!

My First Best Friend by Jack Prelutsky?

no :( though that’s a good one.

Best Friends by Adrian Henri? /Here

YES! Thank you!!!

I love it. It stuck with me too; though admit I had thought it was Alan Ahlberg/Michael Rosen so had to search it out!
