A School Day

Who said school is no fun?
Why, there are lots of interesting things that you can do!
You can get beat up by the school bully,
And bleed all over the place.
You can get suspended because
The teacher didn't like your beheviour or your face
(So what if you were having fun,
Setting the teacher's books on fire!)
You can play around in Biology
With the insides of a frog.
You can eat a big school lunch,
Then suffer chronic indigestion.
You can get free weight training--
The books you carry home give you
Muscles like an ox, or the school bully.
You then see the school bully again!
You are mad at yourself and teachers!
You end the day by meeting again,
With the school bully, saying to yourself,
"Alright, I've had enough!"
Then you beat his brains out
With your muscles like an ox.
You vomit on him.
Thanks to your school lunch.
You spill bits of frog guts on him
That spilled out of your backpack.
And you vent out your frustrations on him
That you can never do to your teachers.
You feel great!
You won!
Loser?
Now wasn't that fun?
Go back to school tomorrow and do it again.
