School Days

I was wondering where my old high school history book wound up. I spent a lot of time in that hard bound to get a "C" if I was lucky.
You see, I wrote funny captions above almost every picture in that book. I won't go into detail, but if your work is good, all the kids around you begin to laugh. That draws attention you don't want.
Sometimes I go to the computer and Youtube Junior Walker David Letterman. Those happy times blow in on squealing saxophone notes.

How could a young man dislike history and hate literature so much and one day love them so?
