At least we look good


Hallways become runways Students become models Passing periods become beauty salons Class becomes a photo shoot At least we look good… Books stay closed Expensive “kicks” stay on Calculators off Makeup on At least we look good… Tests become jokes Grades become useless At least our nails are done At least our hair is done What did we learn? How to do our hair or paint nails? Nope. How to fail school How to learn nothing How to waste time At least we look good.
