 I had the grumble

The creamsicle rumble 
I was the kid
   Riding on the running boards 
  In the east
     With pine trees
 And namesake firs
And snow in dirty patches
   At a place that had old washing machines
Left outside
Candy was fifteen cents
Good and Plenty
Junior Mints
Necco Wafers
Licorice
  In the spring I wanted to play baseball 
So bad
  The bat was like marble fudge ice cream
Rippled
A kid got hit in the head by a swing
   Blood
I tried to take him to the school
The Nurse came running up and yelled at me
"You're not supposed to move him!"
I was all fuck you ya fat ugly bitch 
I'm in third grade 
And you're a stupid cunt
