Marjorie At School
Marjorie laughs when others laugh
not understanding the humor that is her
Popular Marjorie
Entertainment for future prom-queens
Meat for bullies
A lunchroom pastime
Pimple-faced Marjorie
Simple-minded Marjorie
Let's put Marjorie on
Its so fun
Pretend that you like Marjorie then put her down
she falls for it every time
We discuss Marjorie's grades
social studies, math, English
Dismal-failure Marjorie
No room for her here
like waving at the blind or
shouting to the deaf
What's the point?
Better off in functional skills
We do our best to
Keep Marjorie from physical harm
Ignore her daily-beaten soul
Feed her useless facts
Keep her from getting in the way of the real children
and
Move her along until...
Until what?
We have not a clue
Through it all
Marjorie smiles
