NORRIS'S ILLSUION 1959

Post by dadio » March 29th, 2017, 3:36 am

Norris turned around
and looked back
Biggs was beside him.

Hey Coles
I could beat you
in a fight couldn't I?

Benedict nodded
guess so
he said.

O'Brien was beside him
at the back of class.

Norris asked
other boys
who likewise
acquiesced.

You could take him
O'Brien said
in Benedict's ear.

I know that
and you know that
but he doesn't
Benedict said
it's Biggs who's
the problem
he follows Norris
around like
a big bulldog.

Norris turned around
to the front of class.

There was chatter
amongst the boys
as the teacher hadn't
showed yet.

One whack
in Biggs's fat guts
and he'll go down
O'Brien said.

You reckon?
Benedict said
looking at Biggs's
wide back
and large head.

Sure he'd go down
O'Brien said.

If Norris tries it on
I'll thump his nose
Benedict said
and see what
Biggs's does.

The door opened
and Lee
the science teacher
entered the room
the boys stood up
the chatter stopped.

You could
as the saying goes
hear a pin drop.

If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
