Thinking Back At Jr High School

I could never figure out how One day a girl had breast And the next day she didn’t, Did they think we didn't notice? Why did I always find my socks In my sisters bedroom Why is it someone would tell you A girl liked you but Ten minutes later She was going steady With another boy The big fight after school Why didn’t anyone ever show up Why did the principal always want to see me It’s not like we were best friends The football stars with a letter What was so great about a Letterman's jacket? It’s not like they are wearing them today Why did we go steady? Everyone always broke up High School is a whole different story

I got tickled about the letterman’s jacket, imagining a bunch of old guys with those jackets on ... very relatable poem!

The poet has avoided tough words/ His poetry is like cool water/ Humor is also embedded in it/ A simple poem that is crystal clear!
