Eight-line Poems

Stab

Stab

In Heavy School one day
two students had their say
“So, d’you like it?” asked the one
“Not me I’m nearly done,”
came answer from the other,
“Goin’ back home to mother.
These furry pants do itch,
and square shoulders are a bitch.”

“I can see you’ve had enough,
but it makes you look so tough.”
