"James is a bit slow". That's what his tutor said. The boys standing before her still didn't feel sorry. If anything it amused them This slow boy in a fast school. They called him Cornelius. No-one knows why, but it really got to him. "My name is James!" he'd yell In a rage again Blue eyes watery and bulging; Face round and flourescent pink Mouth a red, twisted cavern. It's OK to do this. That's what everyone thought. It's OK because this is Cornelius. He's stupid, he doesn't care. His stupidity was always there like a reassuring neon sign, flashing "He deserves it". We don't know what happened to Cornelius. We only have a memory That takes the form Of a scratched remark on his old desk. "Cornelius is a retard". So I scratched it out and wrote "James is a bit slow". In the beginning, the Universe was made. This has angered a lot of people and has been widely regarded as a bad move- Douglas Adams |

Wow. This is really very well-written. I love poems that tell a story. Your's really touched my heart, 'cause it brings to mind a person from my own school days. Brilliant. *~Meredith~* "I can taste you on my lips |

Thanks! Cornelius was an extremely odd boy. At 16 he was obsessed with Pokemon cards and Anime. Mind you, he may have been slow, but he was great at Web design, so maybe he's somewhere now, designing a website that files his Pokemon cards or something!
