Quick Step
Quick Step
Looking back, I’m glad
I thought ahead. Instead
of putting my crayon
money in my pocket,
I hid it in my sock.
All the coins left
an indentation on
the bottom of my foot.
Red as a “wild strawberry,”
but it paid off.

I love this character so much.
Thank you!
Nice word play with “paid off” referring back to the money hid from the bully of a previous poem, “wild strawberry” referring to a crayon color the speaker’s wiles will allow him to buy.
Thank you!
