School

It will be the death of me...

I forced a look

at the clock.

Fifteen more minutes.

 

The teacher was mumbling about

Quadratic equations.

Graphing. Y-intercepts. X-intercepts.

When will we ever use this in

real life?

 

The bell rang.

The sound of freedom!

Students crowded the small hallway.

 

Now we get to learn about

Presidents. Westward expansion.

Does it look like I’m

enjoying this?!

 

Irregular verbs. Newton’s Laws of Motion.

But the worst of all: Grammar.

Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adverbs,

Adjectives, Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Interjections.

 

Phew.

Can I go home now?

The feeling of the school nicely put. We all have such experiences. Just escape to a safer place llike home from all over the world. World is a sort of school and always we feel the confusions like this. Well done my friend.

I feel your pain. When will we ever use any of this information in real life? I don't get it... anyway, great write!

AGGG!I HATE MATH!
I swear I didn't understand a thing about that whole math part of your poem.
History and English are my only saving grace.
I pretty sure every person who has ever been to school has felt this way before.
This is a very good poem I love the undeniable truth of this write.
Flawless Job!

Killing you?!?! She's not THAT bad! -glances at homework- wait... Nevermind! Ugghh...
I really loved how true this poem is, espically the irregular verbs! -shivers-
It'd be funny if all the teachers got to read this!! ONLY SIX MORE DAYS!!!!

[SamBug]

Oh how I know the feeling. Couldn't wait until I graduated... which by the way was just last week! So this was good!

[TJ]

Hahaha this made me laugh!

School can be a chore and a drag...and then it's over and you are out in the real world. And probably you won't use all those things that were taught but sometimes, looking back, learning is so much simpler than being in the real world. I enjoyed the poem. Had a great laugh remembering all that stuff I tried to learn and remember back then.
