Adolescence...

Freckle-faced kid, thin as a rake...
Really, those days...plenty heartache!
Ever so shy, face often flushed...
At teasing by girls, I readily blushed!
Kenny the bashful...so I was called...
Endured much ragging, some of which palled!
During teen birthday, up came pretty miss...
Out of nowhere, and smack!...a big kiss!
Up to then, equilibrium fine...
Then I...first letter each line!
