in

Stunder & Butterfly

My memories are all involved with pain

to others and their bones

while I sat smug

hearing the arrrgh and cracks

some even had backs bent

imagine the big bully Stunder

all so asunder

with brain little

and arms 8 pounds strong

with which he would slap

mercilessly as we young chaps

tried to assuage and remove

red finger marks

from our delicate cheeks;

first attempt on me

almost failed

as I ducked

then he chased and pinned me

and thumped my little ass;

then I got back

three days later

he saw me chasing butterflies

in school garden

he came asking ‘what’s the fun’

shrugged said you are poor

and will remain so

eyes widened and he asked

how money is in butterflies?

I whispered catch fly and keep it under pillow

in morning you get a $5 bill for free

look here at bald-crook he made $25 yesterday,

and crook nodded vigorously;

Strundle was struck he began the chase,

missed classes, ran whole noon

and caught one puffing for breath;

instructor caned him bad for missing classes

the one he kept under pillow

smeared the pillow bad

at which his rolly polly mom

made him catch ears for a few hours

tired and rod-done with ears red

Strundle swore

never to pin and slap!

ME-in particular.

You can laugh heartily here by reading these books.
