Baby Boys Who Swim Great Poem
Friend of mine's oldest son is "on the spectrum."
Teacher sent him to the Principal's office for play
shooting with his fingers on carpet circle time.
Friend of mine's younger son has leukemia.
He is doing extra chemotherapy because they
can't kill all the bad cells in the first rounds.
Friend of mine's oldest son dropped out of Stanford
this Quarter because of his video gaming addition,
to come home and push grocery carts at Ralphs.
Friend of mine's younger son has ADD and drug
additions which keep him depressed in bed
they want to send him to a camp in Utah.
Friend of mine's oldest son was arrested
the police pulled the door off his car and broke
his nose, but found nothing in his possession.
Friends of mine on Facebook seem to have
Achilles without a fatal flaw, Babe Ruth,
and Michael Phelps as their baby boys.
