First Week in School, An almost  true Story in rhyme

Hey I’m 9 give me a break

Hey I’m 9 lay off me for fucks sake

You’re telling me I already know X Y or Zee

And when I tell you we did not do it last year you nod and say you don’t believe

But I’m 9

I’ve no agenda

I’ve a will, but you’re trying to bend it

You need to show me whose boss

I get that you’re probably out of teaching college

But seriously

How much do you need to intimidate me with your authority, height and age?

I’m 9 why when you stand in front of me, do I feel thinly veiled rage

Have you had any dreams unfulfilled?

So that you need to squash me, so that I feel quite ill

But I’m 9 for fucks sake

Give me a break

Please teacher
