used to take metal wheeled roller skates
and nail them to the bottom of a board
to make a "skate board"
candy bars for a nickle
push the bell on the bike with your thumb
carl yastrzemski baseball cards clamped on your
bike to make it motorized
green lantern decoder rings
silly putty
wax lips and bottles
soda jerks at the pharmacy
goin to the 5 and 10
dropping snow balls at the mass pike bridge
throwing eggs and then running
~
one day, did that.... OHHH F___K
the next car coming was the COPS
Direct hit: two eggs slam into the doors
SCREEEECHED go their brakes.... (LOUD)
being chased i leap over the chainlink fence
like i was a freakin DEER
i look back
and my buddy "not so agile" (he never practiced)
tries it and get's those two pieces of twisted
chain link (the old style) stuck right into his balls
and he's stuck like a fly on flypaper STUCK
and the cops see us and him frantically struggling
i'm like gone with the wind.... almost around the corner
and i was suddenly faced with a dilemma
do i risk going back to rescue his fat ass?
or do i book....?
didn't want to "never hear the end of it"
so i ran back , with fear expanding exponentially
as i see the whites of the cops eyes approaching
and rip him off that fence tearing those trousers wicked
didn't care
and then it was feet don't fail me now..... gone......
