The untold story of Loy's ability to talk - Part 2

I wanted a crowd

I always wanted a crowd

So at a young age

I would think innovative ideas

To get a crowd.

And how hard is it to attract a young crowd – by a youngster?

I would get my 2 AED

Around 66 US cents.

I would keep this weapon with me

And when it was the break

I would  barter this hard cold cash

For a packet of nice hard chips (or crisps as they call it in the west)

And offer to bribe anyone who was ready to listen to me talk

And who would be able to resist

Cheese flavored chips when it was being offered?

No one could.

I would even bring chocolates

And share with anyone willing to listen to me talk

But oh…not the expensive ones.

Those I would never share

For anything in the world.

But there was a problem

The money market didn’t seem to flow so easily

So when the money market stopped

I had to arrange other forms of bribery.

I checked my cupboard.

Nothing interesting.

Until finally, after digging my entire house

I found the most valuable treasure no one could resist.

The army sticker collection.

I began bringing my sticker collection

Which I had collected for months

And I gave it all off

In exchange for a 15 minute of friendship

Strange as it may sound

My brain did work at such a young age.

But like they say

All good things come to an end

My sticker collection also ended.

So did my friends.

Soon I ran out of pencils, pens, sharpners – literally everything.

I was back to square one.

No one wanted to listen to me talk

My mom and dad would always wonder

What in the world was I doing with my stationary.

I just told them

I was careless

I tried every option under the yellow sun

I even tried playing football

And talking and running as they were playing

But that didn’t work.

As I was trying to find the answer to that great question

How could I get a crowd to listen to me….

Surprisingly one day I found the answer

Which changed my life forever.
