Recess Duty, The Protector
When I was thirteen and in eighth grade, in the spring of fifty-eight;
You could volunteer for special “recess duty”, to watch over young classmates!
The kids I got were some third graders, at ten a.m. I’d take them out to play;
And make sure none of them would get hurt, or end up in a fray!
One morning they were playing, a running game they liked;
They divided up in two teams, and then a ball was quickly hiked!
The object was to avoid it, as an opponent threw at you;
The game they called it “Dodge Ball”, and bodies quickly flew!
One team was shy a person, so I decided to join in;
Of course, I knew I’d be their target, from the moment we’d begin!
Just two minutes after we started, a kid fell down and tore his knee;
But it wasn’t one of them on recess, for that kid that fell was me!
Imagine my embarrassment, as my third graders took their protector to first aid;
My fellow eighth graders all were laughing, at the dumb mistake I’d made!
Even those smartass little shitheads, all had smiles their face;
The only one not laughing, was me in my disgrace!

Hi Dear Debs,
This was a contest between Georgina and me, to see who could come up with the most humorous story. We do these little repartees to cheer each other up. Glad you liked it.
Hugs, Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Oh gosh my Larry!
That must have been so painful sweetie. We have a similar game called British Bulldog here also. I never got involved with that one or hockey at school because I don`t think sports that can cause an accident are a good idea for children to take part in!! I`ll tell you why I didn`t, in a private letter honey. I was on the school team though with my favourite sport badminton and it was the only one I was good at.
I think you are the winner my darling. We`ll have to wait and see though who gets the most comments and views wont we sweetie...lol?! I`m really looking forward to you winning this challenge sweetie!
Well done for a humourus look back on life that is so well written and well thought out my darling. I`m very, very, very proud of my talented and simply gorgeous Larry. This piece is really good. You are really good at the funny ones, much better than me. I really think that it`s good for us to try to find the funny side of life when something negative happens!! It`s heart breaking knowing that you hurt yourself though and suffered so much pain and were then laughed at. Children can be so cruel at times can`t they?!
I was born on the 14th of September 1958 when you tore your knee. I thought I was much older than you sweetie! Gosh you certainly don`t look 71 my darling. I thought you were in your forties, you`re so handsome. Linda`s a lucky girl to have such a talented and handsome husband.
This is a fabulous write my Larry, well done sweetie.
I love you both to bits sweetie.
Love and hugs

Hi G,
Oh, now I get it. You had a crush on a much younger man you cougar. I guess now that the secret is out your heart might not palpitate so loudly. By the way Linda will be seventy-one in nine days. We were both very fortunate long ago, to come to Florida and find "Ponce Deleon's Fountain of Youth"! Getting back to the contest, I might have been embarrassed at the time, but when I look back on it now it is hysterical. So don't cry for me Argentina, for it is stored in my most comedic annals of history. As for who won our contest, Just like the last one I'm calling it a draw.
All my love,
Larry
Oh but you can`t call it a draw because I`ve got more views up to now....lol!!! When is the deadline for it though?!!
