I have a two part short story here at Soup about an escapade involving my best friend Sheila and my once-friend-turned-foe Margo, but it is way back in my early pages that can only be found easily by using these links. So if anyone wants to learn the whole story about my junior high school foe, these links will take you to parts one and two of the humorous autobiographical story: What Finally Set Me Off. (I think the first link goes to part one)

I never will forget in junior high
this girl who was a two-faced friend of mine.
I can’t remember now the reason why,
but she got mad for something asinine.
She said, “I’m gonna beat you up! Be at
the park, beside the water tower.” She
then told me, “Bet you won’t show up.” That brat
was MEAN! All day I fretted needlessly
of what could be a real bad episode!
So after school with my best friend, I went
And waited for that witch; she never showed!
With great relief, I then began to vent
to my best friend of things that we could do
to that “tough girl” - a chicken through and through!
*True story & dedicated to my junior high school foe, who later
went on to marry (and then divorce) the brother of my BEST friend!
