New Kid On The Block

Man am I hip now

I met this new kid on the block and he is teaching me how to be a cool dude. he's a real good guy - he's only young but boy does he know stuff. he knows stuff Max and Sebastian have never heard of and they are like millions of years old.

He turned up the other night and I was out for a stroll when he came round the corner. To be honest he made me jump when I first saw him coz he looks kinda scary but he just walked on up and said "Hi dude, How's it hanging?"

I didn't know what he was talking about so I just said "Good thank you" and left it at that. I was thinking about getting home for a bowl of tuna with a side of cream and wasn't really in the mood for socialising especially with the sort of person Max and Seb had told me to steer well clear of.

"You out for stroll then dude?" he asked.

"Errm. Yes. Well actually I have to be home soon. The two legs get worried if I'm late and come looking for me. I'd better run"

"Hey hang loose kid. No sense running when you can saunter. No use sauntering when you can stand. No use standing when you can lay. let's lay down and have a cool one."

I wasn't sure what a cool one was and I wasn't sure I needed one right now and not with this guy but I didn't like to cause offence, so we lay down on the grass under the hedge and we chatted.

His name is Gunther and he only just came into the neighbourhood. he's from down in the smoke where all the cool cats hang out - that's what he said. Anyway we talked for ages and he was really nice and he said he would teach me how to be cool if I showed him around and acted as his guide. We struck a deal.

I told Max about it and he was sceptical but like I said to him you can't judge a book by its cover alone
