Wait, It Gets Worse

by John Touchstone   Oct 9, 2004


I had the worse day …
I was late for class I had a test to take
I got an “F” it was my final grade
I no money to eat, I had to ask for a dollar
My skittles got stuck in the vending machine

I forgot my gym shorts so I had to wear the school's spandex suit
I couldn’t climb the rope, I fell on my butt, and the suit was riding further up
My clothes got stolen, so I was stuck in the suit for the rest of the day
I got scornfully laughed at down the hall, and my locker was stuck

By the end of the day I had had enough I just wanted to go home
I got a ride with a friend, who got stopped by the cops
He had 5 joints and 3 beers stashed in the trunk
We both got arrested I explanations didn’t work,
They hauled us off to jail; my 1 phone call didn’t go through
We both got separate cells, and I felt a large hairy hand on my shoulder.
I don't remember anything after that.

    Eirisa you are right on the money, that's exactly why I ended it that way. Just as you said, to let imaginations run wild. Kinda leaves you wondering what hapened next, but I'm prettty sure you all know what ever it was it wasn't good.

    Great poem - I WANT AN ENDING but i think those were your intentions with this piece - let the readers imagination plague and run wild with possibilities of what the hairy hand could have brought (in comparison especially to the hugely CRAP day this poor fella has had LOL) WELL DONE so original!!!

    PS: Pls correct me if my interpretation is WAY OFF :o)

    Glad u liked it. More will come in the near future. and Pearl your "Bobby whats 1+2"? poem was funny for 2 reasons: 1) it was also very creative and 2) I knew some people in high school that dumb. keep it up. Oh and Jazzi "God Forbid" that ever happens in real life. I would never be or walk the same.

    Stay cool
