Pickles between your toes and other wisdom of youth
It’s just sad that adulthood robs us of the mindless intellect of youth. Double dog dares might still be around when you’re 25 or 35 but suddenly, no one will forgive you for actions committed under the awesome power of those challenges.
Gone too is your right to say absurd things in public. When you’re a kid, you can spout any old nonsense and nobody will call you a racist, pervert or person incapable of participating in his own defense at trial. It’s a shame too, because there were some real gems back then. Such as the following, which today could get you hauled in court for slander against a giant corporation.
McDonald’s is the kind of place
They serve you rattlesnakes
French fries up your nose
Pickles between your toes
McDonald’s is the kind of place
Last time I went there
They fried my underwear

Another gem:
Trick or Treat
Smell my feet
give me something good to eat!

but it all comes back with age and the so called second childhood. It’s amazing what old people can get away with like the tall tales at the barber shop, ramming shopping carts into others at the cashier line, spending 10 minutes counting out change or using a checkbook instead of an ATM card. and at social events, it’s astounding what an old person can say that even two year old kids can’t.

I don’t know and I don’t care cuz Jaws don’t wear no underwear…even if they’re called Fruit of the Loom (don’t ask- that stupid thing was always a part of my younger days dammit)

So someone told me a joke yesterday (Knock know, involving an interrupting cow) and I practically peed in my pants. I’ve always thought I had the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy.
That said, did you write that little poem, Mark? Maybe I’m not as well read as some of your other readers…
