A DAY AT SCHOOL

Tick tock,tick tock
Goes the school clock.
As we walk into the room
And sit at our desks
They speak and crackle in pain.
Not long after we hear footsteps
And all is silent not a word is said
And then comes the teacher staring
And watching our every move.
We hear a whisper but before
Anything can become of it
“Quiet!” yells the teacher as if
She were the devil.
Ding goes the bell
As torture has just begun.
