Even as a youth he would
chose to do things quite
not right, matter of
factly, one could say
they were well, different.
So, sit back, kick your
feet up while I reminisce
for a bit - He played spin
the bottle with his father's
gin - hoped to get her dizzy
(bet you thought I was going
to say drunk); opened up an
umbrella when he plummeted
off the garage roof; cursed up
a storm when taking the
garbage out - got a month's
worth of Dial soap in his
mouth; jumped off the back
of a go-cart and watched his
friend crash into a tree; did a
head over heels on his bike
while showing off; even did a
head over heels in love with a
teacher or two; used flippers
on his swimming test - got
caught, had to leave the water
then mumbled, "Son-of-a-beach!"
"What was that?"; put rocks
in snowballs that knocked out
two of his friend's (same one)
front teeth; but the best one was
when he went sailing - got hit by
the sail, did a back flip into the
water, started screaming for
help, looked up at his friend
(same one) who looked down
and said, "Lance, stand up!" You
see, I fell into waist deep water!

Now days, the label is hyper-active. They may be future explorers, inventors, etc. Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Interesting.
