The Average School Day
I grudgingly wake up every morning at 6
I brush my teeth and check the score of the Knicks
I go downstairs and eat breakfast
My sister spills the milk again, she’s so reckless
I rush and get on the bus real quick
While I think about Batman and Ben Affleck
I wonder if I will learn anything of use today
My mind wanders, and all I can think of is May
Right away, I am off to first period math
I know this won’t be my career path
Next it is off to be in engineering
Teacher asks a question, I won’t be volunteering
Then, I am on my way to Spanish
Hopefully, all my patience won’t vanish
The clock rolls along to lunch time
I daydream about home in the meantime
Afterwards, I slump into U.S. history
Why I’m even here is still a mystery
I climb up the steps to english to write a paper
By this time, my attention has really tapered
Then, I’m off to Chem for a lab
No thanks, I rather pick my scab
Lastly, I am in biology enduring another lecture
I zone out and stare at the ceiling’s texture
The bell rings and it’s time to leave school
Staying this long was just to cruel
