Easy "A", But I Want A Challenge
Location
The first day of school was fun
Other classes turned in book reports, but we did none
We got to know you and you seemed pretty cool
It was probably the best class offered at the school
You’re young and so new at this
We were fine with that because you never gave a quiz
But now I kind of want to learn
The “A” I have, I should’ve earned
We do nothing here but sit at our desks
Is it too much to ask for just one simple test?
I want to know things; I want to better myself
The textbook I got on the first day sits home on my shelf
My notebook is empty, not a single note anywhere
My parents pay for an education, it’s just not fair
It’s fine to do this for a few short weeks
But it’s December now. So, move your feet.
I heard the other class is learning about William Shakespeare
We should have a sign on the door that reads “nothing going on in here”
I know the doodles on my desk more than I know British Lit
If my parents found out, they’d have a fit
I don’t need a lot, just enough to stimulate my mind
Compared to the other class, we’re way behind
So please, teacher, just give us something
I need to get my brain pumping
I swear by now, I’m in a vegetative state
I doubt we’ll learn anything by the time I graduate
