The 64 Year-Old Teenager's Nightmare

____________________________________________________________________________________


The 64 year-old teenager
stepped up to the podium

His audience was smart
not one was dumb.

Here is what
the speaker said:

I got 4-inner 16 year olds
cavorting in my head.

[Uproarious laughter]

But there is more to me than that.
I got 8-inner 8 year-olds.
They all live under the same hat.

[Only half the audience laughed]

You think that's bad...it gets worse
I am also 16 little 4  year-olds
who just cry and scream and curse

[Half the audience walked out]

Wait! There is still more that is true
My inner 2-year-olds number 32

[The other half of the audience  walked out]

Now nobody's here to call me MATHAMAGOO

In nine days, Mr. CarPeo will become–ahem–a serious and solemn 65 year-old.
