His
worn leather jacket's too big for his frame,
And he's got a foul temper no doctor can tame.
You won't hear him say "pardon" or "thank-you"
or "please,"
And don't call him short or he might bite your knees.
Hockey cards in his spokes make his small bike sound
mean,
So you'll know when he's coming - make sure you're not
seen! |

Spokes
"Though abnormally short for his age, "Spokes"
makes up for his vertical impairment with an attitude
and temper that would make Godzilla nervous. Files confiscated
from the orphanage describe his fixation with motorcycles,
brill cream and Doo-Wop music from the 1950's. He claims
to have seen the movies Rebel
Without A Cause and American
Graffiti over 300 times apiece and, like the other
"Spookies," his only contact with the outside
world has come from television and films. When asked
if he enjoyed the sitcom Happy
Days, he responded "Arthur Fonzarelli wears
a pink dress." Town officials hope he will be able
to attend Pugwash Elementary without incident, but are
scheduling anger management classes for the immediate
future."
