Billy's Tall Tale "Billy, it's time! Get up for school! Your drawing project's due today. You know about your teacher's rule; she must have it without delay." "But, mom, my arm is hurting bad! There is no way that I can go. I must stay home, though I am sad... I'm really hurting, don't you know." "But Billy, can you lift your arm?" "I can't, it's painful and too sore." So now she asked, with mommy charm, "how high could you lift it before?" And Billy raised his arm up tall above his head...his face turned red! From his warm bed, he had to crawl... get ready quick for school instead. Sandra M. Haight ~Honorable Mention~ Contest: Just Make Me Laugh Sponsor: Christine Lehman Judged: 08/30/2016

A perfect poem for the contest Sandra! I can just visualize Billy lifting his arm up high, then realizing his mistake. This gave me a big smile. Thanks, Connie ; )
