We each have special
talents.
That is what our teachers tell.
Brendan is a whiz in math.
Kelsey does spelling well.
Amber's the best at Double Dutch.
David spits farthest of the boys.
But Alexi ’s skill tops them all.
She’s a pro at making noise.
She slaps her cheeks, clicks her teeth.
Her belches are seconds long.
And with hands in her armpits,
She trumpets a catchy song.
She whistles through her fingers,
Or into a blade of grass.
She can blow on her forearm,
Imitating passing gas.
Her knuckles crack like gunshots.
Her two palms squeal with a squeeze.
Fingers snap like castanets,
She plays drum rolls on her knees
My report cards show straight A’s,
I play soccer like a star.
What’s that to Alexi’s talent?
Someday that girl will go far.
