Look kid, I know you’re all messed up
over the fact that you’re not getting the prize for the Ram-Way this year
but you just haven’t earned it yet.
It takes a while to get in the groove
for these kind of things
and you’re not there.
Not now, at least.

When you’re older, maybe.
When you know a few more syllables.
For now, though,
you gotta keep doing the rounds
working the perimeter
making your points.
You’re a kid, kid.

You’ll be ready later.
Maybe.
