Lazy Teacher

Kids flick paper airplanes
And goof around in class
But what can you expect?
The teacher won't get off her ass.

Such lovely etiquette
Our tax dollars at work
So please don't strain yourself
You inconsiderate jerk.

I speak as a student of this class
This very poem my example
And as you can clearly see
My free time is quite ample.

Instead of learning vocab
I'll write some pretty words
While I should be learning other things
Such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs.

But I've far excelled this
It's a waste of my time
I already find this form basic
Why am I still learning rhyme?

Because I am subject to my lazy teacher
Who fritters her time away
As one so elequently put it
"This class is so gay."

I want to make a point clear, just for the sake of getting my point across. I wasn't joking. I really did write this in my English class ^_^
