And Michelle, I had some limerick-worthy experiences, too, so don't feel alone in that department! <br /><br />By the way, with regards to the repetition in the poem, I deliberately ended the poem with an ellipses that (hopefully) leads the reader back to the title...in other words, circling back to the beginning and continuing the vicious cycle ad infinitum - which is what it often felt like back then! <br />Matt Forrest Esenwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230063389130167424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-75449747787212139632015-09-23T21:03:34.655-04:002015-09-23T21:03:34.655-04:00Oh, my!

My boys are in 7th grade, about to turn 13, and this made me think of them. I see their sweet, furtive glances at girls and always think, "Oh boy, here we go!
