Gym Class

I peed my pants in gym class.

I was just a little guy.

I had to go to the nurse's office.

But no, I did not cry.

She gave me purple pants to wear

From the donated box of clothes.

The legs were short, the cuffs were frayed.

I emphatically turned up my nose.

I waited for mom to answer the call.

In self-isolation I did sulk.

I wasn't going back to class

When I looked like the Incredible Hulk!
