Two Bullies
by Anu Srihitha - 5

One should never care about other’s property;
but should, when needed.
I know I did when someone wanted
But, they pushed me out and said,
“You fat and bumpy girly”
“My hair is really curly
But, don’t care about me!”

The bully recited
“I’m boastful, I’m toastful,
I can roast you to a toast,
So better go, OUT! OUT! OUT!”

These two faces frightened me
So I gasped and said,
“Mercy! Mercy!
But I myself will show you one day,
how kind I’ll be to you.”
