Friends
Friends
by Jeremiah Tavui
I walk down the street
with my friend Elijah we play until six
We played on the trampoline and Xbox
I slipped as we play water and soap
My mom is cooking
shoyu chicken for dinner
I do my English homework
as my brother does his
I’m so full, too much chicken
I go to bed at nine but
I stay up more to ten
