Welcome to High School


Quick, walk swiftly through the halls.

But not too quick.

Stop, watch your back,

But not for long.

Why all the contradictions,

Haven't you heard?

It is every freshmen's nightmare,

That sinister trickster.

 

Wait, your talking about that one class bully,

No, okay, then that one taunting varsity lineman,

Again no, then it has to be the senior gang leader,

Seriously, it's a NO!!

So who is it?

What? No way!?! You have to be joking, the principal!

 

Yep, it's true. He is always lurking, 

But where? No one knows.

Maybe in a corner. maybe by the wall, maybe in disguise.

Come to think of it,

Just last year the freshmen counted 153 victims of his schemes, 

Out of only 175.

 

His schemes, he calls them pranks you say,

Sound entirely evil, just down right terrible, 

Why does he get away with it, even when he is the princi "PAL"?

 

Well, that's what's sad,

The students all know but the teachers refuse to accept, 

Since no one can catch him in the act.

So, beware your teacher could be him,

Or a student in your class,

But the halls are his kingdom. 

Remember, 

Quick, walk swiftly through the halls, 

But not to quick.

Stop, watch your back,

But not for long.

Cause the god, Principal Loki is lurking around.
