Butterscotching Mr. Lynn

I like you cause you look like a giraffe stretching out

it's neck to get to

fruit in a tall tree. You're always occupied with girly

things your room is

filled with girly posters of teen idols and roller

coasters and funny things

like that you've got a red and purple striped stuffed

animal cat that takes up

half the bed. I like to pretend you're made out of a-

drawbridge operator's favorite radio program "argh,

you're listening to 81.3 sound of the sea" while I'm

training troops in parachutes how to act froufrou so when

their seargents return from butterscotching Mr. Lynn they

can do the charlston while I paint the face of Private

Fontaine on his enemies face and do the same to him until

the ballrooms filled with soldiers wondering if they like

them selves and all are forced to forgive and forget
