Embarrassing

When our work gets hard,
It’s time to have a peek,
Trying to embarrass her might be quite hard,
Hope there’s what I seek.

It is very clean:
A bag of sour worms,
A big celeb body-builder’s magazine,
And some science terms.

It is rather hard,
I hear her footsteps near,
Trying to embarrass her might be quite hard,
My heart’s filled with fear.

I can hear her sing,
She will think I’m a pest,
I have come to something quite embarrassing,
My mark on a test!
