  1. Back to Gabriel's main page.
  1. We skip school and watch the races
    Kelly's Road House burns down
    Fun in the dungeons at Fort Wayne
    Band concerts, lover's paradise
    200 mules doth can-can
    Kicks in the ribs could be heard far away.
  2. Street carnivals, tent on every corner
    Balloon ascension, I am sent for the sky hooks.
    I chase for the sawdust pump.
    My first movie, The Great Train Robbery
  3. German bands, we suck pickles
    The banana peddler chases us
    Eagle Eye Floyd shoots bb through my scalp.
    Horses burned to death in stable fire
    Next day we poke through ruins with sticks
    Wally pokes stick through bladder and gets in eye
    We become actors
    Floyd nearly blows up the barn.
  4. I solve a mystery for the sheriff.
    Run sheep run. Home Bird trick
    Shiveree at weddings
    Winter pastimes, rubbery ice
    We skate on cemetery pond, Imaginary ghosts, we run like hell
    How we warmed our feet on the way to school
    Classrooms smelled high to heaven
