CHAPTER 1

I need a new butt! Mine's got a crack. I can see in the mirror a crack at the back.

Did I do it on the slide?

Or on the banister inside?

Or when I jumped my BMX? Or with the fart? That happened next.

Of course! The fart! That's what blew my butt apart! Split the thing clean in two. Now I wonder what to do.

I need a new one. A green one or a blue one.

A fat one or a thin one. A wood one or a tin one.

Why not an arty-farty butt? One not to be forgotten, with watercoiors on the top and a mural on the bottom.
