Notorious

A poem about the frustrations of having a deep voice as a child.

By Madison NewtonPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I'm chatting with a friend when a random kid cries out,

a pathetic little whiner quick to tear up and shout.

Why does the teacher scold me then, you ask?

That's simple, the voices of the kid's perpatrators are masked

by my baritone laughter that constantly puts me in timeout.

    Hahaha and when every kid wants a deeper voice this is the one kid who HATES it. I liked that a lot.
