I Was Schooled

Who says I didn't learn in school
For me it was a lesson cascade
In science class, I learned to draw,
And that it, didn't help my grade

I learned, I liked to look at girls
Which I did too much every day
I managed to catch a girls eye,
Then learned I had nothing to say

Caught looking a little too low
With a smirk, I tried to look cool
Then she suddenly slapped my face!
Who says I didn't learn in school!

I must have attended the same school. There was a girl Vicky in Grade seven who was well developed for her age. She encouraged me to touch her breasts and then slapped me when I obliged. Of course I had no regrets.

I'm sure! I wouldn't either. In the seventh grade a girl told me another girl said she would go with me if I asked her. I said, "Go where?" She said, "Go steady, silly!"....oh......80)

Oh there's much more to learn in school than math and history - very droll, Pat!

If I'm sad, all I have to do is read a Pat Adams poem!

"Learning is in inverse proportion to the 'ouch' uttered by the student." -- Newton's 4th Law of Physics. LOL. Enjoyed! :) gw
