Last night two of these special kids graduated from High School. This made me think back over the years we have known them. Shortly after we met them the boys came down with poison ivy. If you have ever had this you can imagine what they were going through. I wrote the following poem for them:
POISON IVY TWINS
The twins were having fun one night
When they got into a terrible plight.
Playing hide and seek in the dark
Thinking it would be quite a lark.
The place they found to hide you see
Happened to have some poison ivy.
They didn't notice it right away
But soon the poison was there to stay.
Then their bodies started to twitch
'Cause poison ivy makes them itch
Now they're covered from head to toe
With poison ivy this is so.
They want to itch, they want to scream
They're wishing it was just a dream.
Hide and seek was fun they did agree
Until they got into poison ivy.
Shaking hands at church is out you know
You could pass the poison this is so.
On to someone else and then
Back to you it would come again.
It will be gone before to long
And then you can sing a song.
Until it's gone try not to scratch
It will start another batch.
Look at them sitting there
Jesse and Casey are quite a pair.
Written for Jesse and Casey Strong
