That Was A Mistake


He told her to shut it

She threatened to call home.

He told her what she can do with the phone

She got him suspended.

 

In that time he argued with her

His classmates shook their heads

As they waited for it to end

And they can learn once again.

 

He comes back and mean mugs her.

She ignores him completely.

He tells her off worse than last time

Finishes with "I'll kill you!"

 

She takes it seriously.

 

Now he finds his life is over.

From the principal's office.

To the court

Into the cell he goes.

 

In the time he was gone

The classmates were filled with sorrow.

He was most loved and intelligent.

But he chose the wrong words.
