Grownups in my life never pulled punches
me, being me, took the
opposite position
Followed friends everywhere !
nary a one of them
jumped off a bridge
Made distorted faces ?
never did my face
do the ugly freeze
Cried if I spilled a glass of milk ?
confess that one
befuddled me
Spoke with with my mouth full ?
thus perfecting
my enunciation
Placed all my eggs in one basket ?
I did, obviously
for the Easter Bunny
Silence was never golden !
it was a dark, creepy
very scary place
Ignorance was never bliss !
algebra teacher, Mr. Hedgecock
flunked me, twice
Discovered money does grow on trees !
when I saw $20 dollar bills covering
a cardboard Anniversary Tree
