The Write Stuff vol. 7

legend

when good things happen
to him
my brother yells
" LEGEND!! "
at the top of his voice

why legend?

because if its not in the record books yet
it ought to be

he's writing his own record book
longest sleep-in
shortest greeting
as well as footy, his apprenticeship
trade school, his girlfriends

" LEGEND!!" he shouts.
" what this time?" mum shudders

thanks a lot
whoever left these odor-eaters, new socks
jocks & deodorant in my room,
no time for a shower now

longest time between showers
"LEGEND!!"
