Those were the Days (for me)

Missing image

Those were the days when I was a kid.
I have to laugh at the things I did.
An unruly child, I was a mess.
Goofy as hell, I must confess.
 

My seventh grade teacher; She was the best!

Still in her twenties and ample of breasts,

but it always seemed I flunked her tests.

I kept dropping my pencil to peek up her dress!

 

I always gave the girls the jitters,

because my pets were snakes and other critters.

My mom was mad and my dad was bitter,

when I scared my sister's babysitter.

 

I draped my pet Boa around my neck;

Saw the babysitter and 'What the Heck'--

I plopped it on her lap and she 'Hit the Deck' !

She never came back--She's a Nervous Wreck!

 

Putting salt in the sugar bowl;

My practical jokes, never got old.

Wild, crazy and uncontroled;

Beyond redemption or so I've been told.

 

But now, the years have quickly passed

with all of the memories that I have amassed.

I'm now, looking back at my tainted past,

and I have to admit--I'm still an Ass!

    How boy did this make me laugh and brought me back to the days of my youth where my younger sibling was just as nutty as this poem. Good luck.

    lol

    Finally a poem I can relate to! I certainly enjoyed the pranks I played...and still occasionally scare a unsuspecting soul or two! I liked this one. Reminds me of the desert turtle I turned loose in the English Class in High School. No one suspected I did it, and that big 1' diameter turtle was actually a needed break in the normal English class boring boring boring routine!

    Of course ...I would be a better writer if'n I had listened instead of plotted another prank!

    This is so funny! I'd probably be the unfortunate baby sitter, as I'd definately be wary of the boa! What a wild child you were!Great write!

    Oh, you're so funny. I can only guess who you are, my Dear. You remind me of me, except I didn't run off with the baby sitter. I'm honored you've chosen to enter my contest. It means a lot to me. Thank you!
