when i was little
a new girl came to our school
she rode the yellow school bus
all the way from argentina
our stupid teacher introduced her as jenny
it was love at first sight
or something like it
she spoke in lovely spanish tones
the stupid teacher asked for a volunteer
someone needed to help jenny read in english
it was the first and last time
i ever volunteered for anything at school
she must have been so overwhelmed
but you'd never have guessed it
from that smile forever burned into my memory
i'd never met an argentinian princess before that day
sometimes when i'm laying in the grass
i still think about her
getting off that big yellow school bus
