In response to my comment
she gives me a look
like I am covered with manure
and am suggesting she join me
wallowing in a pig pen.
Nose flared, forehead creased,
like she has scented
something foul, she raises a brow
and turns away with a scowl,
still here in body, but not in spirit,
while her friends chatter and giggle
pleasantly with me.

Ah!! nice…school is winding down now, eh? My son`s last teaching day before exams ws yesterday…now he`s off to La Ronde with the students today.
What’s La Ronde?
Yes, the year is wrapping up! Our graduation ceremony is tonight, though we’re still in classes (barring full scale strike action) until June 23rd, then in exams for another few days.
Ah we always finish before our national St Jean Baptiste day June 24th. La Ronde is the amusement park connected to originally Man and His World , Expo 1967. Your father will tell you about it:)
Considering how much he hates amusement parks, he probably blocked it from his memory, though he was very excited about Expo 67 and having his city showcased so dramatically! Personally, I always wanted to live in one of the Habitat 67 homes!
They are funky looking home alright! I was most proud of the Olympics 1976…perhaps because I was older to appreciate folks from all over the world visiting our city. But 1967 La Ronde, was my first summer free with other young teens 🙂
Yes. 🙂 Good memories of those contacts and community pride!
Thank You for Being a Blessing in my Life. I Appreciate YOU
How kind of you. Thanks!
Haha..loved your reference to the person to the animal mentioned here subtly with words and not directly…nice one.. 🙂

LOL so true, yes i have a teenager.

Your poem captures my own experience in being a teenager, quite eloquently.
Thanks, Thaddeus!
