Living from one break bell to another
The teacher writes a lagging rhyme upon
Yet another student’s pleasant failure:
“Let failure upon failure be our bond”;
‘Till longed for 3 PM has come and gone,
Then if the lagging poem be thrown away—
And to toss the scrapes one is often fond,
Will yield an unacceptable delay;
For the life is short and the work day, long;
The hallow’d ring around the temple grays;
The papers are counted, ink is measured;
American life leaves no time for play—
Efficiency makes our bombs work better.
structured Sentences will soon be given
Useless teachers by judicious villans.

did you write this? Nice. I especially like the mysticism surrounding the 3pm witching hour...
