Tha Nerve of You....

.....to raise your hand to answer that question
(do you even KNOW the right answer?!)
there are no books, just handouts, remember?!!

ceilings got psoriasis
toilets are broken, doors falling off
and you sit there plottin’ quads on
the x and y axis
you ain’t ashamed of all this?!


you’ve got some nerve!
who told YOU to
suggest the auditorium
for classes
like college
to educate the masses?

we’re squished like gumballs in a bubble
how dare you have study parties at
your place, Starbucks® or meet at the NYPL
…then ace the test the next day?!
you make me sick!

no more music or dance classes or
supplies for art
and never mind prom night, or a decent celebration
you’ve got the audacity
to mastermind a fundraiser; all hail the inspiration!

oh, and i guess you now have
a ‘respectful and supportive’ relationship
with your teachers, huh?
tee-hee-hee-hee….better late than nevah!

for real though, i heard
they may not be back next year
(after years of serving the largest school system In the
U
ny
ted
States of
America)

but the ‘cuts ain’t got nothin’ on you
‘walkin’ across that stage™
pretty soon
in June

hey, wait up! what should i tell
class of 2012?


Fun Fact: The New York City public school system is the largest in the US.
