Poem: “That’s Incredible!”

A poem about the TV show “That’s Incedible!”. Those “INCREDIBLE” Silver Jackets. And the “INCREDIBLE” circumstances that ensured I’d never get one!

man, I wanted one of those silver
jackets! A girl came all the way
from America to be at our dumb
school for three months, and she
had a silver jacket with “That’s
Incredible!” right across the back.

But I never got to talk to her about
that. Because we thought it would
be funny to mock the Pledge of
Allegiance while we sang the New
Zealand national anthem, and the
Headmaster threatened to strap

us, for embarrassing him, and the
school, in front of a girl named
Brooke, who had travelled a long
way from her home to visit us on
our tiny island. So I went nowhere,
and stayed home empty-handed.
