"Mrs. Stein," a poem by Bill Dodds. A Stephen Carpenter illustration.
Mrs. Stein asks,
"Interested
in a school visit?"


--"This is the silliest Web page
I've ever seen."

--"Don't you. Wish you.
Had a. Trampoline?"


--Beth was appalled when she learned
the staff meeting was being videotaped.

--He'll volunteer, Michelle thought.
Not me. She'd be great. Not me. Him, him, him!
I. Am In-visible... "Michelle?"


--Bert lost it when he
realized the morning wasn't
even half over.

 


--Sean lead a carefree life
until the family moved
from Green Bay to Chicago.

--"Brett! Over here!"
