Book 7 Page 26

Come here now

 

Come here!

Come here this instant!

I said, --- “come here!”

 

And in my minds eye ,

I could see smoke bellowed from my angry mother’s nostrils and ears.

 

If she thought I was coming one step in her direction, she must be joking.

I may have been the naughtiest kid on the block,

but I wasn’t stupid.
