Ssilly Joke For You

By Michelle Ballou
Woodstock Union High School, Grade 10

Whenever he gets excited, I hear the little lisps-
Out they come Sswinging Sso Ssweet,
To that 19th letter-a Ssecret Ssarinade.
It can happen when he’s happy,
it can happen when he’s sad
but either way it makes me kinda, sorta glad.
You see he’s perfect in every way,
its good to hear he is flawed like me at least once a day.
I am full of flaws,
Like speaking only half of what I’m thinking-but that’s ok,
because it makes him...
Oh you want me to finish that thought?
right!
it makes him Ssmile.
I love our flaws they make us-US.
