I wrote a poem for today…Need some help.

“The Dirty, Rotten Kid” KB:: I’M A DIRTY ROTTEN KID, THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ I AIN’T DID. I DID IT ALL AND I’M DERNED PROUD TO BE A DIRTY, ROTTEN KID. I’VE DONE MORE STUFF THAN ALL OF YOU THERE’S NOTHIN’ I AIN’T TRIED TO DO. THERE’S REALLY NOTHIN’ I AIN’T DID. I’M JUST A DIRTY, ROTTEN KID. My MAMA SAYS, MAMA: HE’S RIGHT, THAT’S TRUE. THERE’S NOTHING THAT THAT BOY WON’T DO. HE PICKS HIS NOSE, HE ALWAYS BURPS, HE MAKES WEIRD NOISES WHEN IN CHURCH. HE SCRATCHES THINGS THAT SHOULDN’T BE AND MAKES A NERVOUS WRECK OF ME!” KB: My DADDY SAYS, DAD: HE DRIVES ME CRAZY! I’VE GOT A KID WHO’S SO DARNED LAZY! HE FLUNKS HIS CLASSES ALL YEAR LONG, HE PLAYS THOSE LOUD DISGUSTING SONGS. WHY CAN’T HE BE LIKE ME WHEN I WAS SUCH A SWEET, YOUNG LOVING GUY?” My TEACHER SAYS, TEACHER: I’D LIKE TO RIP HIS LITTLE HEAD PLUMB OFF HIS NECK! HE’S ALWAYS ACTING LIKE A PEST AND NEVER PASSES SPELLING TESTS! HE CROWDS IN LINE, HE STACKS THE LOCKERS! THE KID JUST DRIVES ME NEARLY BONKERS!”

KB: OH GOSH IT’S FUN, OH GEE IT’S GREAT TO BE A ROTTEN KID! JUST LOOK AT ME! MY FRIENDS ALL LOVE TO STOP SAY, “I’D LIKE TO SEE HIM GO AWAY.” “I WISH HE’D JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.” “WHY CAN’T THE ROTTEN KID STAY HOME AND GIVE US ALL A LITTLE BREAK? GO SUCK ON TOADS? GO EAT A SNAKE?” BUT LATE AT NIGHT WHEN NO ONE KNOWS, I’D SNIFF AND CRY AND BLOW MY NOSE AND WISH THAT PEOPLE LIKED ME BETTER STEAD OF TREATIN’ ME LIKE AN OLD BED WETTER AND SO I’D CRY AND WISHING SO THAT MAYBE SOMEDAY ALL THE WORLD WILL BE HIS FRIENDS WITH LOVE AND HOPE! WOULD IT BE WORTH IT? (a beat, a smile) BOY FROM AUDIENCE: NOPE!
