Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

I Got a Kick Out of Leila

One day when I came home from school
Uncle Fount and Aunt Helen were there
Entering, all eyes were on me
I felt a thickness in the air!

Mom took my lone ranger lunch box
A small bruise on my leg was found
When she asked what happened, I said,
"A girl kicked me on the playground!"

She asked me why the girl did that
And who was the girl to blame
I said, "Leila Kilpatrick did,"
"I guess to live up to her name!"

Then everyone laughed about it
To me, the air wasn't so thick
I learned the power of a joke
When young Leila, gave me that kick!

Michelle Faulkner February 24, 2019 at 5:22 PM You should have some guy with a drum set follow you around to give you a "da-Bump-ba!" every time you say something like that! (actually there may be a ring tone for it) Pat Adams February 25, 2019 at 7:40 AM Well, I'm not too crazy about a guy following me around, but I hear ya!!........Thanks for commenting!........pat

Sunlite Wanter February 23, 2019 at 6:24 PM If I see your name, I read your poems. I can depend on getting a "kick" out of them. Pat Adams February 24, 2019 at 3:55 PM Wow! That was a really sweet sentiment, that I just can't thank you enough for! They should have a FAV for responses!......Pat

Jan Allison February 23, 2019 at 5:27 PM ouch I hope its not a true story - very witty wordplay Pat:-) hugs Jan xx Pat Adams February 24, 2019 at 3:53 PM Actually, it is a true story. She had pointy shoes and horn rimmed glasses. I don't think she meant real damage though, just playing.......80)
