As I was standing in front of
a room,
nevermind which room,
in my school,
nevermind which school,
people were calling me
"Kaaaaaarrrrratcharatcharatcharatcharatc h!"
derived from
"Kaaaaaarrrrratcharatcharatch!"
derived from
"Karritcharatch!"
derived from
"Karratch!"
derived from
"Karrotch!"
derived from
"Crotch!"
or, if it floats the reader's fancy,
"Crotch?"
or, if it floats the reader's fancy,
"Crotch."
and I still had my long hair.

A boy was walking past me,
and as he walked past,
he just looked at me with
those beady, lobster-eye-like eyes of his.

As he walked towards me
with his termite-eaten, moss-covered peg-leg of his,
his smooth, power-dancing, polyester eyepatch of his,
his felt-tip marker of a hat of his,
his sunburned cue ball of a sorry excuse of a head of his,
and his inflatable chew-toy of a sorry excuse of a parrot of his
(he was not wearing his inflatable chew-toy of a sorry excuse
of a parrot of his, but I knew that he had one, judging from
his termite-eaten, moss-covered peg-leg of his,
his smooth, power-dancing, polyester eyepatch of his,
his felt-tip marker of a hat of his,
and his sunburned cue ball of a sorry excuse of a head of his, but I should have asked
just in case), he just looked at me.

He looked at me with those beady, lobster-eye-like eyes of his.
He just looked at me.
He looked and looked and looked,
and then he looked some more.
And then he kept on looking.
He was just looking (looking like a looker! Ha!).

He was as thin as a pole and twice as thick...

Finally, after all that mediocrity,
he proceeded to say to me:
"You need to cut you hair"
in that evil, whiny, trombone-like voice of his,
and then he just walked past.

And I just looked at him.
I looked and looked and looked,
and then I looked some more.
Finally, I exclaimed:
"You need to grow your hair"
in that annoying, whiny, tuba-like voice of mine.

He had a bullseye of an ego,
and to whack it would truly have been
a magnificent thing.
