Old Man Jenkins
Old Man Jenkins
by: Anonymous
The person that I would like to talk about in my community is Old Man Jenkins.
Or just call him “O.M.J” because it takes all day to just say his name.
He used to be an old police sheriff. He is really cool,
just don’t mess up his yard.
Because he would go crazy.
But he plays basketball with us.
But back to his grass, if you step on it.
Just know, that the grass is gone bite you.
And old man jenkins would get hotter that a chili pepper.
Don’t think that just, because he’s old that he can’t catch you.
He’d run so fast that his shoes would say slow down.
But that is the person that I want to talk about.
He is the person that inspires me the most.
I hope you explore your neighborhood and meet someone that inspire you in your life.
