I was just a kid then and every gnarled, knotted limb was a potential tree house. And I a pot ential Tarzan. All us kids used to climb it when the weather was nice, and we were nice. Nice in gram’s house was when everyone dressed to fit the weather. When it snowed, if we had on snowpants and mittens and all the other things kids wear when it snows, it was nice . So we climbed summer, winter, and fall. I wouldn’t climb in spring 'cause there were about fifty billion bees in gram’s tree. They rented our tree-house or something, I guess. At least that's what gram said so we believed her, of course. My gramma was the smartest gramma alive and, besides, she made the best cherry pie in the whole world. Jimmy (he’s my cousin) and I used to get little pies made especially for us ’cause we were the oldest, we were also the WAR GAMES By Michael Fletcher Some people ride in speeding cars And others fly beyond the stars To get some fun from this dull life. (Some even try to get a wife,) But I have found a better way To get a kick from every day. All I have to do is this— ‘Cee, you sure look stupid, Sis-9 And books and missiles fill the air Pots and pans and silverware. Then 1 behind the sofa find A refuge and some peace of mind Until the opportunity Is finally afforded me To peek beyond my padded fort. Boy, this is exciting sport- A little bit of searching proves The enemy has made her moves. She9s sitting in her bedroom lair A raft of curlers in her hair. A verbal missile ready waits, The megaton she really hates. It finds its tar get with a boom; 7 ey, what is that thing in Sis9 room?9 The mop-up actions now begin. (This is why I always win.) 4Doggoney Sisy throw 9way that stuff. Without it you look good enough.' lousiest tree climbers around. One summer day when it was nice out, I fell out of Gram’s cherry tree. Cherries were all over the ground when I landed, so my mother couldn’t tell whether I was bleeding or not. I must have knocked down at half the cherries in the tree. That’s what Gram said anyway, and Gram was never wrong. I cried for all those cherries that couldn’t ever be in one of Gram's pies. All I got was a cherry sunsuit, a broken arm and an angry mother—which didn't par- ticularly bother anyone but me too much. THAT FALL when the leaves were getting all crunchy, Jimmy and I decided to go tree climbing again. My arm was all better then. My mother told me that tree climbing wasn’t ladylike but then I wasn't a lady. I was a kid who liked to climb my gramma’s cherry tree. I’m glad I did too, because it was my last chance. My cousin Jimmy fell out and broke his arm. He didn’t even smash any of Gram's cherries but he was a boy so everyone got scared and now there's a sandbox at the place where Gramma’s cherry tree used to be. 9
