Rules


I can sense an abnormal stain in my presence

Two girls not listed on my roster

With a peculiar choice in perfume,

It is sad that I must consume

Their stench when I perform morning duties

 

Their voices leave an echo in the air

Those two girls talking loudly in the garden

With diction, vulgar and crass

They burn with sass and a lack of class

So I must quickly handle the situation

 

I step out of my car and onto school grounds

The students all greet me in respect

As one should with a council member

But that malodorous pair

Approach without a care

And demand confrontation

 

They shout that I ‘bind them with rules’

That my ‘morals are stupid’

And I cannot help but feel insulted

They try to intimidate

But I don’t discriminate

In who deserves a lesson or two

 

I allow them a word

A rather wasted choice

And they swear that I’ve made school ‘boring’

They say ‘school should be fun’

But by then, I was done

With listening to them anymore

 

I beg your pardon, you two

I realize that this may be difficult for

Low-IQ bottom feeders to understand

But there is only one way

To stop the moral decay

Of a school plagued with rampant debauchery

 

And that way is with strict school rules!

A standardized uniform!

And a new ideology to match!

Exemplary behavior

And Civil Favor

Will save us from this tide of anarchy!

 

The essence of true beauty

Lies in the rules of the strong

Who make rules for a better world

This is an absolute fact

So clean up your act

Or prepare to lose and fall.
