Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

In a land far away everyone was friends,
Except…for one boy…he did pretend.
His Name was James, he cared only for money,
He had no sense of humour and he was not at all funny.

His father was mean and not at all fun,
He didn’t care about spending time with his son.
I got to know James when we were a young two,
We were enemies while we were at Kung Fu.

James challenged me to a dual,
And for doing that he was a fool.
I said “well, well that’s cool!
How about we do it in the pool.”

All you could see was splish splash,
And there was a big kerplash!
James and couldn’t take being enemies,
So we decided to be frenemies.
