GRADUATION FROM CLUMSY
Yes, he tripped a bit more than
other kids - he spilled his milk -
dropped his books - and he didn’t
do too well when playing catch
with his dad in the backyard.
with his dad in the backyard.
But, if his dad was disappointed,
he didn’t show it, so his son
didn’t know it - that is, till he got
into school - and that’s where he
got the nickname: “Clumsy!”
Yes, he hated it. He hated being
called, “Clumsy!” and it followed
him all through ES, MS and HS.
Bummer. Bummer. Bummer!
Who’d like to be called, “Clumsy”?
So when he graduated - no, he didn’t
trip on his way up to receive his HS
diploma - but yes, he chose a small,
small college, far, far away - with hopes
nobody would know him - as “Clumsy”!
