Little Jimmy

little Jimmy is a retard
all the kids say so

	
he doesn’t go to church
and his brown patent leather shoes are dusty


little Jimmy is quite stupid
all the kids say so


in winter he doesn’t get a Christmas tree
and his house is in a bad area of town


little Jimmy is a dummy
all the kids say so


he wears an odd gold star embroidered on his jacket
and eats strange things for lunch


little Jimmy is a moron
all the kids say so

he doesn’t even have a bike!

we spit and throw rocks at him
i feel funny when we do those things


…but all the kids say
little Jimmy is an idiot

maybe mr. hitler with his neat mustache can straighten little Jimmy out
i’ll ask mother if i can wright mr. hitler a letter.




				someday, when i’m grown up
				  i want a mustache like that too.

This I accept as a rhetorical piece ... another character will built. Blessings
