A Wishful Student


       From eight to three                                                                                                                                                              I want to be free                                                                                                                                                                             Five out of seven days a week                                                                                                               and I am one who loves to sleep                                                                                                                                                     So why can't school start a little late?                                                                                                  Just please not seven or eight                                                                                                              The teachers, oh don't get me started                                                                                               Some are loud, some are quiet, and some need to be restarted                                                      They yell and scream                                                                                                                                                    It has gotten so bad that I can hear them        in my dreams                                                                                                                                                         And those mile long rants                                                                                                                      I can't handle anymore I can't                                                                                                                                                    So hear me out it's my turn to scream and  shout                                                                                                                                                          I wish teachers would take the time to see from our view                                                                   Let's not always sit in our seats like veggies in a stew                                                                          No more busy work, no more essays                                                                                                  What else is there to change if we do only this everyday                                                                      I'm not a troublesome student                                                                                                                                                     I can be very prudent                                                                                                                                                   I just want some change                                                                                                                        My goals are not at all long-range                                                                                                                                                            I just want my teachers to understand                                                                                                  There are many ways to make school grand!
