Biology Class a Year Later

biology class
where sperm whales are mentioned
seventh grade snickers

no one laughed in sixth
thanks to sex education
they are getting wise

I had a similar experience in a Chicago school once upon a time with 6th graders who were all yelling "There's a hoe in this book!" They were pounding the table and could not stop laughing.
