On the Thirty Third of Januaugust by KEN NESBITT

On the thirty third of Januaugust,
right before Octember,
a strange thing didn't happen
that I always won't remember.

At eleven in the afternoon,

while making midnight brunch,
I poured a glass of sandwiches
and baked a plate of punch.

Then I climbed up on my head to see

the silver sky of green,
and danced around my feet because
I'd turned eleventeen.

A parade began to end 

and music started not to play,
as rain came out and snowed all night
that warm and sunny day.

That was how it didn't happen

as I keenly don't remember,
on the thirty third of Januaugust,
right before Octember.

From the book "The Armpit of Doom"

Manners...













We say thank you!
We say please!
And excuse me! when we sneeze
That´s the way we do what´s right
We have manners!
We´re polite!







                    Line Up 

Line up! Line up!
One behind the other
Hands down, mouth closed
Don´t push me!
