First Crush and Carolyn Schneed
Gregory Chahoski
with soft rounded features,
and alert shiny brown eyes
resembled a bright,
peppy squirrel,
and all the girls in first grade
liked him, including me.
So when our class paired off,
pushing our desks together
to work on coloring pages,
and he asked me to be his partner,
I was thrilled,
and disappointed
I had already promised Carolyn Schneed.
I would have gladly forgotten
the skinny, freckled new girl
to be with the boy of my dreams,
but of course, I didn’t.
And Gregory never asked again.
Sigh!
