Personal Poem

Ben Allen is my name.
My real name is Benjamin.
My animal would be a gorilla.
Generally peaceful but smart and strong.
My heart is full of compassion for people.
A word written on my forehead would be kind.
I love the smell of a BBQ on the wind.
I hate the sound of high pitched screams.
I like the sunset because it is the end of the day.
If my hands could talk they would say,
"Quit cracking your knuckles!"
I remember jamming my two middle fingers.
My parents said,
"co co chi co co ye bo bo"
(Swahili for puke straight up!)
