Grownupism!
1Day, When I Grow Up!
So, as usual, I wuz sittin' an' stinkin' 'bout the wurl passin' in front of, behin', aroun' an' over me!
Sumtimes it's a pretty sight, 'specially when the sun's shinin' an' the weather's warm.
I kin almos' watch the trees growin' leaves an' the flowers blossmin' right before my eyes.
This is a pretty pikture of the wurl, an' me in it!
A pretty wurl an' me, all kombined!
Well, speakin' of kombinin', the dragon-teecher asked us slave kidz to write sumthin' 'bout President Obama an' the former monster lady, who might be a viz president!
I think it's spelled vice president?
Man oh man, nuthin' happens in the wurl without the dragon-teecher seein' it an' then the next thing you know, we gotta write 'bout it!
I don't know why we can't jes see it on T.V. an' then, cool it!
But no, ...
OK, I know where to git a quick fix for papers for skool!
Perents an' granma, here I cum!
After a wunderful mama dinner, I start quizzin' my perents for my dungeon-skool teecher paper.
Granma sed, "Well son, this is a huge change from what the world was expecting last summer.
Hillary Clinton was almost thought to be anointed to the presidency and along comes a man with a big dream, that eventually he was able to realize with the support of millions of people at home and abroad!
A source of inspiration for many people everywhere!"
Wow, I thought, granma is reely impressed with this fellow!
"Now there is a good possibility, that former foes are going to unite for the good of the country, the Democratic Party and perhaps, the world."
Boy oh boy, the dragon's gonna luv all this stuff!
"I only hope this team will produce offspring intended and capable of healing and uplifting many persons at home and abroad, who are desperate for new and constructive ideas, dialogue and then implementation of a constructive change in the way in which the world is directed!
A Complexion Change!"
Far out, I'm gonna entitle my paper "A Complexion Change! an' write down all the good stuff granma tol' me, while mama an' papa jes nodded in agreement!
Boy I'm reely a lucky kid, even if I do havta go ta skool ev'ryday.
So, I'm gonna sey,
G'nite
I luv you
G'nite.

PART LXV
Erwachsensein!
Eines Tages, wenn ich erwachsen werde!
Also, wie üblich war ich am Sitz'n und Stink'n darüba, wie die Welt vor mir, hinter mir, um mich herum und üba mir vorbei zieht!
Manchma' is' das 'n ganz schöner Anblick, besonders wenn die Sonne scheint und das Wetter warm is'.
Ich kann fast seh'n, wie die Bäume Blätter bekomm' und die Blumen aufblüh'n genau vor mein' Augen.
Das is' ein ganz schönes Bild der Welt, und ich mittendrin!
Eine schöne Welt und ich, alles vabund'n!
Nun, da wir grade üba vabund'n sprech'n, die Drachenlehrerin hat uns Sklavenkinder gebet'n, etwas üba Präsident Obama und die frühere Monsterdame zu schreib'n, die vielleicht Fiezepräsident wird!
Ich glaub, das buchstabiert man Vizepräsident?
Mannomann, es passiert nix in der Welt, ohne dass die Drachenlehrerin das mitbekommt, und das Nächste, was du weißt, ist, dass wir drüba schreib'n müss'n!
Ich weiß nich', warum wir das nich' einfach im Fernsehen seh'n und gut is'!
Aber nee, ...
Okay, ich weiß, wo ich 'ne schnelle Lösung für mein' Aufsatz für die Schule herbekomm!
Eltern und Oma, hier komm ich!
Nach 'nem leckeren Abendessen von Mama, fang ich an, meine Eltern für meinen Kerkerschule-Aufsatz auszufragen.
Oma sagte:"Nun, Sohn, dies ist ein gewaltiger Wandel von dem, was die Welt im letzten Sommer erwartet hat.
Von Hillary Clinton wurde fast gedacht, dass sie zur Präsidentschaft gesalbt wurde, und da kommt ein Mann mit großen Träumen, die er schließlich mit der Unterstützung von Millionen von Menschen hier und aus dem Ausland realisieren konnte!
Eine Quelle der Inspiration für viele Menschen überall!"
Wow, dachte ich, Oma is' echt beeindruckt von dem Kollegen!
"Jetzt besteht die reelle Möglichkeit, dass sich ehemalige Feinde zum Wohl des Landes für immer vereinigen, die Demokratische Partei und vieleicht die Welt."
Junge, Junge, der Drachen wird dieses ganze Zeugs lieben!
"Ich hoffe nur, dass dieses Team Nachkommen produziert, die beabsichtigen und fähig sind, viele Menschen zu heilen und aufzurichten, zu Hause und im Ausland, die sich inständig neue und konstruktive Ideen wünschen, Dialog und dann die Umsetzung eines konstruktiven Wandels in der Weise, in der die Welt sich ändert!
Ein Wandel im Erscheinungsbild!
Super, ich werde meinem Aufsatz den Titel "Ein Wandel im Erscheinungsbild" geben und all das gute Zeugs aufschreiben, das Oma mir erzählt hat, während Papa und Mama nur zustimmend genickt hab'n!
Junge, ich bin wirklich 'n glückliches Kind, auch wenn ich jeden Tag zur Schule geh'n muss.
Also sag ich ma'
'Nacht
Hab euch lieb
