REVERSE TWIST
by John T. Baker
First day of school young Johnny moaned,
“I really need to go!”
The teacher told him how to find
The rest room down below.

He soon came back in tears and said,
“Can’t find it anywhere!”
She took him out into the hall
And pointed down the stair.

“It’s right down there!” she softly said
And then went back  inside.
But soon the boy showed up again;
“Can’t find it!” Johnny cried.

The teacher sighed, “Well, Michael, dear,
Please help him understand.”
So Michael, older by a year,
Took Johnny by the hand.

The two lads left but soon returned,
And Michael shook his head;
“It’s okay now, he had his shorts
On backward!” Michael said.
