Joe's Comments


I know a boy.

His name is Joe.

He thinks he's funny.

This isn't the case, though.

 

Joe says mean things

And other boys laugh

And I find it astounding

How they don't pick up on his wrath.

 

And our teachers, they smirk

And laugh along too, but I wonder

Would you display such mirth

If we were all laughing at you?
