I Remember 6th Grade Math

She tried to get my attention a number of times But It was not possible because I was a country or two away Wearing brown leather swashbuckler pants White billowy blouses, and multi-buckled boots, Fighting pirates with Sabers. I was mighty and terrifying. Hearing my war cry turned their blood to ice Which is why I did not have to stab them All I had to do was wave my sword around And scream and they would jump ship And get eaten by sharks or swim to land Pride oozed out of me as I heard my battle cry. Student me replaced pirate queen me hard and fast When I heard my peers laughing Apparently the teacher was not amused by a battle cry In the middle of her boring math lesson A Pirate Queen serving detention? Unfortunately it happens

I spent most of my math time daydreaming about a wonderful non-mathematical life.

A wonderful take! Fun how one can jump ship in the middle of class! I want to do that now! But as the saying goes: I am adulting now :)

hahahaha I am lucky, in that no one expects any adulting of me.

Math class was the best place for daydreaming ever, the teacher had a sing-song monotone voice, and I despise math.
