Ten Minutes More Please

Written in answer to a challenge by a certain someone on WC. It's rediculously stupid, but refreshingly fun; too much fun.

Ten Minutes More Please

“Five, four, three, two, one...Sir," replied the instructor,

 "you may begin.

 Are you listening, sir?”

I glanced up from a moment of interspect.

“What…ummm,  begin what Ma’am?

“Your writing Sir, 

You have ten minutes to write it.

 You may begin now."

"About what, Ma'am."

She glared at me for my ignorance.

 "About anything you wish.”

“Oh," replied I, as I looked up at her.

"Has time already started?”

“Yes, a minute ago, 

you have nine more to go,

 So you best get started.”Y

 “I already have," said I.

 "I’ve written everything you’ve said.”

“But that’s against the rules Sir. 

You must write in your own words, 

You mustn't write what I say, but what you say.

They must be your own words.”

 "But," I smirked, 

"If I make them my own,

 Then aren’t they mine?”

“No sir," she scowled,

 "They still belong to me.”

"What about rhyming schemes; 

do they have to rhyme,

 How’s my time?

Hey, that rhymes,

 doesn’t it…?

Time and rhyme; 

Rhyme and time, 

A perfect chime.”

I looked at her and noticed a little smile.

“Yes sir," she said,

 They rhyme just fine. 

Is that your lime,

 Or is it mine.

It sits in that glass,

As green as the grass.”

I glanced up.

“Hey thanks lady,

 You just added to my rhyming thing.

It's time for a lime,

 Even though it’s not mine,

I’m feeling sublime

As I quietly supine

With a red cup of wine.

OOOPs I’m running out of T …”

“Times up Sir, " she announces,

"Turn in your work please.”

I sigh sadly,

“But I’m not finished.”

She laughs with an evil laugh,

“Ha, ha, ha.

Those are the rules Sir. You must turn in your work now.”

 “Gee thanks la…”

Time is gone.

Author's Note

As I said, this was written in answer to a challenge. The person may have something here. It's fun even though it may not make sense.

"Ten Minutes More Please"
M.E.Lyle,
Yes, lighthearted spoof. I identified with typing contests in high school, free writing timed too. Yes any tests all timed back in the day. If yours was a ten minute test why not do your own thing and just 'go with the flow?' You had fun with this and I know I have not been the only one who smiled as they read these delicious words of yours!
Bless you.

I don't know what the challenge was, but I believe you certainly met it.
