Thirteen

1958
I am thirteen
And dangerous
To myself and others
With a passion for jokes
Mostly impractical like
Cutting off the head
Of an extension
Cord slipping
The cord in
To some
Thing
Like the
Balcony floor
Boards or an iron
Grillwork then slicing
The electric cord paring
Each half to expose the copper
Wire and reconnecting the head of
The extension cord so when one
Of my siblings wants to use the
Extension cord they cannot
Pull it through the tight grill
Or floorboards but my
Joke is flawed since
They all know fast
How to reverse
My trick and
Play their
Own on
Me.
