Little Boys

Augustus

A little boy learned to wiggle his ears

Sitting in a class room bored to tears.

Individual muscles he learns to flex.

Biceps and triceps, quads and pecs.

 

His mind now focused on doing tricks

Those he's flexed he makes them twitch.

Asked to turn in his homework NOW,

Like Spock he raises his left eyebrow.

 

The teacher is writing on the board

He's drawing a cannon, gun or sword.

He cracks his knuckles to get a laugh

Counts on his fingers to do the math.

 

He saves his straws for spit ball fights

His lethal accuracy will a skirmish incite.

He snuck a pet beagle to school in his shirt.

With a water gun gave Sally Smith a squirt.

 

In the Principal's notes he is immature

But knows how to forge dad's signature.

A grade or two he had to repeat

Now sits in a Federal Judges seat.

                Glad you thought so. Probably not best for a Sunday, but hope it tickled a few souls.
