Why am I here?
I told them not to sign me up.
I ran out of 6th period yesterday
Knowing a journey had begun.
Mighty Ducks was so cool last night.
Jumping up and down on the bed.
Singing We Are The Champions.
Now I am here in camp.
First day-Sitting on the ground
As the other kids talk.
Wait a minute--bright idea…
Opening my bag, I take out the Super Soaker.
Squirt! -smile- Two kids are wet.
I run as they come after me.
The Counselor sees me.
This cute girl sees me—wow, she’s hot.
Squirt! She’s wet
This camp might not be so bad.
Just one week and I’ll be done…
In the gym, some days ahead
We are playing basketball.
My ball bounces off the rim and rolls to a big kid.
I squirted you!
He grabs my ball and punts it across the court.
Hey! Not fair.
Maybe he was mad because at lunch I was
Also trying to talk to this girl we both liked.
She gave me a kiss on the cheek.
Lip next time, ohh yeah!
Friday, yes, Friday—almost there.
Pool day.
We travel to a place where other campers meet.
Everyone jumps in.
I wait and cannonball.
Water splashes! Commotion!
-Contests-
The bigger splash.
Pouring “rain”.
Pool tackling.
The big guy comes after me under the pool.
Thank you, goggles.
I see other kids underwater.
Some jumping down in many bubbles.
The girl,whoa! The girl from lunch!
She kisses me under the water.
Ohh yeah!
I got my wish….
(I’m a bird flying towards the sun in sweet bliss—harmony------wait..wait!)
The big kid grabs me out from underwater, goggles slide off.
He throws me to the other side of the pool. My, he’s strong.
Bodybuilder wanna-be!!
Climbing out of the pool
The breeze welcomes me.
I pose my muscles amid the watery chaos (hggh!)
I am the Champion
a poem for you kevv2
