Poem
when just a lad, in skinny pad the kids all picked on me so hatched, I did, a brilliant plan to make those meanies flee; at home, you’ll know, were two young gals both younger than your friend, and younger means more gullible (and willing to pretend); now sisters know that big brothers are very seldom wrong so when I said I needed them they quickly went along; in dad’s garage was orange spray paint and green weed-whacker string - (this part would make all mothers faint except for those sleeping): Belinda had the bigger bum so I made her the base since Sara was the lighter one she got to be the face both dressed in white and stacked like bread I tied them tight with rope Then took my paint and turned them orange my artwork was so dope, next with black tape I gave them stripes, and stuck to Bel’ the tail, to Sara’s face I glued the string because I lacked a nail; then with a leash I borrowed from my dog whose name was Chalk like a wild cat, from the jungle I taught them how to walk; the next afternoon when school was through, my sisters were prepared to get costumed in my defense and make those meanies scared; and scared they were, I have to say when we began to roam for off they ran and left me be walking my tiger home. 07/25/16 Entry for Walking My Tiger Home Contest Sponsored by David Lindsay
