Sure You Can Ask me a Personally Question

Sure You Can Ask Me A Personal Question

Jack Anderson

Yes, I am white

And I play basketball

No, I do not like baseball

And no, I do not have a big family

I do not have a dad

Yes, my mom is a single mom

I do not live in a mansion

I do not have trillions of dollars

I love New York; this city’s my home

From the crazy people on the corner to the nice old ladies

I live in a small apartment

It may be small, but the playground is great

It’s like a little village

From old people to young people

When it’s warm out I’ll go out there just to clear my mind

Yes, I have a country house

It is not in the Hamptons

Yes, I have a boat, but it’s not huge

Yes, I waterski

I have two pets

A cat and a hamster

They do not get along

Predator and prey

Camp is another home

But no, I am not a camper

I am a CIT — a Counselor In Training

Yes, I love it

I have lots of friends

I like sports

I am fit

I love life, even when it gets me down
