The Followers

Raymond and me are strolling down the broadway so I can practice my breathing exercises, and I got him walking on the inside of me towards the buildings because he has a habit of walking on the curb as if he is a circus performer on a tightrope and usually steps down and gets his shoes and cuffs wet getting me into trouble. He'll also dash into the street to pick with the pigeons. As we are strolling down broadway minding ourselves Gretchen and her so called crew or sidekicks I perfer. Mary Louise and Rosie who are just followers of Grecthen's. Mary Louise my old time friend stepped to me and asked "Are you signing up for May Day races ?" "What a dumb question why wouldn't I ?'' " Because you don't want Grecthen to beat you, but it does not matter even if you do race she is still going to win first place," said Rosie. " News flash girls I don"t lose I only win because I am the best and you both know that." Since they don't have a comeback to me they turn to Raymond and ask him what grade he is in knowing he's not that smart. " If you have something to say to my Brother you say it to me...ok."
