Class Clown
As a child
I always wanted
to help out.
The scene is
second grade,
First day of school.
This pretty girl drops
her ring.
I then recall an episode of
Batman
that I saw the day before
and have an urge to help
this dandle is distress.
However,
before I go any further
let it be known,
I was a large boy.
Not large in width,
but large in height.
So large in fact
that I
TOWERED
over many of the
older kids.
This height got me into
fights with the
Napoleons of the school,
but
It also made people look up to me
in more way’s than one.
So I go to grab this ring
that eventually landed
under the teachers desk.
I lay on my belly
like a
Marine
in an open field.
I can see it,
just a little further.
My fingers are
touching it.
I’m about to save the
day!!
WAIT, there’s…
There’s a problem…
I’M STUCK!!
HELP!!
(how could this be I think to my self)
Oh yeah, I’m large.
That’s right.
A cold shiver
goes down
the teachers spine.
First day of school and a kid
is stuck under
a desk.
She calls the janitor
for assistance
and
a class clown is
born.
