English Blues

English Blues

English, English, yak yak yak
Wish I was sleeping in the sack
The teacher, he keeps running on
Soon I know my mind is gone
Irony, character, theme, and fiction,
Punctuation, spelling, writing, and diction
Will he ever quit his spill?
Words, words, words, I've had my fill
Papers, essays, tests and more
Sitting here is such a boar
His line of thought is faint at best
Please give my brain a needed rest
Just what is it he means to say?
And for this torture I had to pay?
Whenever will this class time stop?
My body's on the chair to rot
Wedged into a desk too small
Made for a skinny barbie doll
Oh thank the stars, he's done at last
But now my rear is stuck tight, stuck fast!
