Stretched out at his study desk.

Unbearable situation. DJs desk
Was opposite his. "Hey DJ how

Would relax for the rest of the
Day. DJ responded, "I'm fine
Still hangin' in, you know."
Damali said, "Yeah, I know I'm
About tired turned out for the day

Concocting constructive ideas.
Damali ideated and contemplated.
Tomorrow Justin and Jordan
Will be 14 years old, the twin
Tyrannical torturous teenagers.

Since they were caught
Sometimes at the library or on the
Playground during class hours.

Damali schemed to have a party
Celebrating their parents and
Grandparents along with

Need some help." DJ said, "it kinda
