Shoulda seen this kid on a bike
Oh how he loved the attention
If you coulda seen him zig-zaggin up the hill
So many cars just had to stop
Couldn’t stay on the path
But he was a persistent fucker
Full of a senseless mirth deriving from
no intellectual awareness of his
hapless condition
-
How the kids of the neighbour used to holler
‘Willy wonky
Feet of a donkey
Breath of a Grufflalo without wings’
-
His mother was just glad he was living
and eating and not falling too far
behind at school.
-
Currently drives a fork lift truck
Earns more than I do
Still can’t walk straight
Talk very well
