"The Names Stuck" - Poem
By Will Walker, Age 13
Memorial Parkway Junior High School
Katy, TX
Teacher: Margaret Chapman



Jan 06, 2006

I was once called a brat
I was then called fat
The names stuck

I was once called lazy
I was then called crazy
The names stuck

I am now known as the lazy crazy fat brat

I once called a geek
I was then called weak
The names stuck

I was once called hairy
I was then called scary
The names stuck

I am now known as the scary hairy weak geek.

I was once called a freak
I was then called meek
The names stuck

I once called strange
I was then called deranged
The names stuck

I am now known as the strange deranged meek freak

I once had friends
I was once was called a friend

I am now sad and lonely
Because THE NAMES STUCK...
