Find X?
Longing for a way to keep the school day at bay
I wake to find yet another A-day
I throw back the covers to fall out of bed and stub my toe
Why must my mornings be filled with so much woe?
So far it’s gotten off to a crappy start
At least I have McCann for Art.
I walk into class to find an empty seat, where Jeremy sits
I wonder if he’s forgotten what day it is…he is a little slow about the wits.
I say none of this to be cruel,
But he just doesn’t do well in school.
Don’t get me wrong he does have a few redeemable qualities
Unfortunately the rest are centered on pure frivolities
Then there’s Amber with eyes so large, one would swear she could see to mars.
She’s another that often has her head in the stars…
Astronomy that is
But she may want to keep her mind on school if she wants to pass this quiz
Prime and proper
And yes she is quite the shopper
There’s also Kamakshi, who represents the ideal student
Yet she’s not very prudent
She’s often up studying into the later hour
But when she comes to class her attitude is never sour
Hold on who am I missing?
Oh! There she is, Allison, always late…I wonder who she’s been kissing?
She wore designer jeans and a tight shirt
It’s a wonder she’s only labeled as the class flirt…
Finally the gangs all present, but just to be clear
Our tale starts here
In through the open window, on a gentle fall breeze, wafts a piece of paper,
Which is still a little damp from the morning vapor
Quick, grab it! What does it read?
Wait! Whatever it says, let’s just keep it between us, agreed?
For some will say that on such a pretty day,
It’s quite easy to be lead astray…
Who knew this piece of paper would lead us on a scavenger hunt
Out the class we make a mad dash, once again united on a common front
One shouted we are so going to have a ball!
No, Amber you cannot go to the mall!
The first item… find x
Find X? What a way to vex?
Well X is normally equal to Y, but it is also one of the sex determining chromosomes Kamakshi offers
Well maybe it’s a moral
Wait, what did you say about oral?
Woah Allison! No one said oral….clean out your ears!
No wonder she’s not accepted among her peers
For our sake X will remain unknown
Just be prepared to have your mind blown.
