Here fellas, take a book.

Uh, no thanks, Mr Macdonald. We just came in to-

 

To join nerds and Words? Excellent, Nick. We could use

some boys in our book club.

Maybe another time. I don’t really do books.

 

It’s a quick read-try it out this weekend.

Can’t, Mr. Mac, we got a futsal* tournament.

 

A book brawl tournament?

Futsal.

 

Your foot’s all permanent?

 

I heard about that thing in Ms. Hardwick’s class. You

know I’m the king of malapropisms.

Uh, o-kay.

 

What’s up with the bowling ball, Mr Mac?

Big game this weekend too. Got to get my match-play

mojo on.

 

I don’t even know what that means.

So, Coby, you want to join the book club?

 

Pass, Coby says, laughing. Maybe if you changed the

name to Books and Babes I might join.

Let us see what’s in your dragonfly box and we’ll join,

you say, before

 

The Mac starts,

             get this,

rapping:

*futsal [foot-saul] noun: indoor soccer played with five players on each side. We have our last futsal tournament this week, then travel soccer club revs up.
