Chapter (3) MY BEST MATEA Chapter by MAD ENGLISHMAN MY BEST MATE ? I
got a welly stuck once in sticky ukky mud We
was playin by the river though we knew we never should. I
pulled and pulled then out it came, My foot and not the welly The
good foot slipped and down I went, to land upon my belly. Cor,
your mum is gonna kill you, my best school pal had said. She'll
probably be so angry she'll send you off to bed.
I had to get my welly back, from out
of where it sank My best mate said let's get a rope
and tie you to the bank. It sounded like a brilliant plan
till I was fastened tight Then went back just to find I'd
pushed the other out of sight. My best mate pulled me on the
rope, I fell back in sticky slime Cor, he said, you've done it
now you're done for real this time.
So
now I've got no wellies, I've got mud all over me My
best mate's laughing, he can't stand so leans against a tree. My
sock's come off, the mud's knee deep I'm
sinking by the minute I
need to find clean water and just dive right on in it. Pull
me out, I shouted, I'll wash off in the river He
got me out and dived in, it really made me shiver.
Cor, he said, now you're all wet,
your mum'll have fit I stood and dripped a minute, then
found a place to sit. By tea time I was nearly dry and had
face mums' wrath When all I really wanted was my
supper and a bath. I told my mum about the day, about
my mates great plan She scolded me, then kissed me, then
imposed a playing ban. Three
days I had to stay in. My best mate never came round once. © 2017 MAD ENGLISHMANFeatured Review
