Scribbles


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
