Vegetable
This is a true story
Vegetable !
I could read this word.
Vegetable !
Because of Mary Lou Redd, Reading Specialist Baltimore Public Schools
I was age 10, reading---
Vegetable.
Prior to, I added my own words to the printed page.
My stories,
not Mcgraw-Hill.
Mary Lou made magic.
Saving children from a lifetime of ignorance, shame and lies.
Vegetable!
Rememberring my first steps that day,
I cried, proudly... .
VEGETABLE .....
all on my own.
Thank you, Ms. Mary Lou.
