This is inspired by Deb M's poem, 'Share a Little of You,' posted today, Jan. 5. I think it's a great idea. Take a peek and see what you think. I'd love to read some more like this. ~ gw
Growing up, I was 'muy macho' (from eating Cheerios, instead of Nachos) My younger sister thought she was faster than me Well, I'd show her -- Ha, ha; he hee We raced across two front lawns into an empty lot We bet five dollars on the race to sweeten the pot I took off like a rabbit, I wanted that five dollars bad At the empty lot, I looked back to see what chance sis had She'd given up, the money was mine At which time --- I ran into a rockpile, turned my ankle, started to cry Pictured my friends' laughter: You're faster than your sister ~ you 'muy macho' guy
