I am almost embarressed to tell this story, but it's been jingle-jangling around in my tummy for years. I guess it's time to let my belly-ache out. I was always one of the smallest kids in school so I guess I felt compelled to be noticed. Always shy, always friendly, and always a bit of a jokester. For some reason I was always picked on to do stupid crazy things, probably because I usually did what the children tempted me to do. I wasn't your average student in my early years, my mother would vouch for that..God rest her soul. I once let a snake loose in the school cafeteria for five dollars...shoulda seen the girls run (lol) Another time I put thumb-tacks on my teachers seat, the dumbell sat on it, twice in two days (lol) I hated that guy..and so did everyone else. I got into many fights protecting the weaker kids from bullies (that was a good thing) I just shouldn't have done it on school property, or in the classroom. So, here is just another one of the crazy things I did back in the day. Somehow, someway...the good lord turned me into the fine gentleman I am today...methinks!
I collaborated three forms of poetry in this in which I call a "haibunrhymeku)- Haibun, rhyme, haiku :)
