The Silence Rule

The girl in the room, The girl standing out, Before the crowd, All around, She works for grades, She speaks when asked, She speaks no mind, As the lack of sensitivity, That displays no fool, To respect others, The rule has no exception, Although the students, Never care, Always talking, Due to the authority, Lacking authority, The teaches loves her, Who is no fool, For the fool, Utters her mind, In which she does not, So the teacher is satisfied, When the girl leads, By example, Others who may stop, Just for a second, To stop uttering the mind, May see her, May realize they are a fool, May not like her, May not care, For the other quiet worker, He sees her, He befriends her, They both not a fool, They both have a grade, That satisfies the teacher, For they will be friends, With each other.
