I.S.S. (In School Suspension)

Don't screw up in school, although it's a drag

Unless you like hearing the principals nag

They throw you in a room as small as a box

Maybe five other people, but nobody talks

It's either hot and stuffy, or cold and dry

And sometimes you'd like to curl up and die

The clock keeps ticking, the minutes crawl by

The teacher's annoyed by everyone's sighs

There's not much to do but read your text books

And sit two seats away throwing mean, dirty looks

Of course you could draw, but even that gets boring...

...pencils gliding to the beat of your fellow man's snoring

To finally show you how boring this can be

This poem's starting to bore even me!!
