I can imagine this fellow was walking home after Kolby's pool room closed for the night:

One night in late October,
When I was far from sober,
Returning with my load with manly pride,
My feet began to stutter
So I lay down in the gutter
And a pig came near and lay down by my side.
A lady passing by was heard to say:
"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses,"
And the pig got up, and slowly walked away.

In 9th grade we had to memorize a poem and recite it in front of the class. This was the poem that I chose. I just happened to run across it a minute ago
 
Honest to God, 12310, that brought tears to my eyes. Why, just the thought some raggetty ass little fellow standing up there and belting that jewel of a poem out to the back row tugs at a persons heart strings. Excuse me a moment while I go and get my shit together. :sad:

(Honestly folks, I don't know where he comes up with this stuff. It might be on account of his living out there in the Soutwest, what with all that dry air and everything, or it could be the hippy lettuce. Anyway, don't tell him I mentioned it, okay?)
 
Did you get an A, BCH?

BCH, You have to let us know what grade you received???

Hey there, Lock N Load. Glad to see you. Stopped and caught your breath and now your back. Good. :)
 
That's a good one. When my daughter was in Kindergarten, she recited this poem that I helped her memorize:

Little Miss Muffit
Sat on her Tuffit
Eating her Curds and Way

When along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And said...
BOO B@%*H, WATCHA GOT IN THE BOWL!

Needless to say, the teacher wasn't too thrilled. She did pass though, I just lost some parent points with the teacher.

I got some points back when she was in about the second grade. She spelled Mississippi using the graphic method. M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-hump back-hump back-I. To which the teacher gave her extra credit because she had never heard it spelled like that before.

Kids, you gotta steer them in the right direction to get a good start in life.
