The Teflon Kid

  Finding excuses, child’s play
    Just wish your mistakes away

  Never a rainy day for you
    Compliments only and trophies too

  You’re the best there ever was
    At least that’s the ‘round here buzz’

  You hit a friend smack in the jaw
    Not to worry, no one saw

  Insulted your teacher after school
    Her hands are tied, that’s the rule

  You’re the Teflon kid we all love to hate
    You’ll get yours someday, just wait…

So many adults are like Teflon kids! I can think of a few but the biggest one is orange and running for president again! Great write Gershon!

Well, he IS big. But he only limps these days. Kind of like his opponent. Ugh. ~ gw
