Oh! my crap
By rilLie
16 August 2006
written during ap (social science) class, product of boredom.

Mrs. Agnes is talking,
 
of what I don't know.

Maybe, of monarchy and lands,

or of the realms below.


My stomach's grumbling,

it's nine on the clock,

Recess is coming,

O! joy awaits our flock.


My head's off somewhere,

somewhere far, far away,

where wolves run fast
 
as coming is the day.


I forced myself to look

at the board that's called black

why it's green? I don't know.

Attention, I really, truly lack.


Oh, we're talking about Gloria,

whether or not she should stay.

I looked at my classmates;

their minds were far away.


I looked outside my window,

and silently chanted Latin,

"Ms. Mamac, not to listen,

is most definitely a sin."
 

It took me a few seconds

to understand what she said.

When I did, oh my crap,

I'm really surely dead.

Long double periods of geography, history, english - the domine's voice a monotonic drone...head droops towards desk - hope he doesn't spot me and ask a question - only 40 mins to go - just get over "the wall" and I'll survive - shouldn't have watched the late film or quaffed that tube of cider...
