Zumante Comes

Class

Class begins

Teacher says 

"Pick a partner."

Scatter

My table mates have already

Run away.

As I sit alone

At a table meant for four

I catch, from the edge of my vision,

Zumante moving to sit with

me?

"What do you call a cow with three legs?"

I shrug

"Lean Beef."

I blink

"What do you call a cow with no legs?"

I wait

"Ground Beef."

I smile

"Are you easily offended?"

I shake me head

"Okay, what do you call a cow with two legs?"

Softly, "what?"

"Your mom."

I giggle.

Zumante is here.
