Getting Married

(Please note names have not been changed to protect the innocent...)

Alison Ewens

and Michael Wolf

were getting married.

We knew that -

because Alison

rolled over and over

on the football field on Tuesday

at playtime

after dinner.

We all stood around

 then walked slowly

 with her rolling

at our feet

 all the way along

from one goal

to

the other.

Michael was there too -

he would not let anyone

get too close

it might be dangerous.

Dominic Patterson and Nicholas Downton

wanted to see

Alison and Michael kissing.

Alison told us

that if she asked

Michael

to kiss her

he would.

Michael said he would kiss her, too,

if she asked him.

But she did not ask him -

and he did not kiss her -

but we all knew

that they would be

getting married

one day

probably fairly soon.

But Dominic and Nicholas

were not convinced

and went off to play marbles

by the canteen.
