Christine's Knees
Ana Lilliman | 18, London Ontario There were a lot of great things about Christine, the greatest of all being her shiny bright shiny knees Christine loved to strut em wearing cute skirts with buttons above her leg joints knees juicy like mutton The boys began to take notice and boy were they feisty poking and prodding her knees Christine yelled out to the boys in anger “bite me!” All the teachers were furious but not at what you think they ought to be. They were not angry at the boys, no, they blamed Christine's knees! “Hide them away and you'll ha hi ve no one to bite '' said the teachers and Christine tucked her knees away tight. Christine still looked pristine but Christine felt dirty “I just thought I looked pretty I didn't want them to hurt me” The girls saw Christine down on her luck “Christine they are pretty you shouldn't have to cover them up” Girls with full pants and short shorts and cute dresses took Christine by the hands and Christine learned a lesson Christine lived in a world where her knees were not always safe no matter the clothing no matter the length but Christine wouldn't feel beautiful in long pants or jeans so she’ll fight for a future where her knees can be free.
