Mayhem In the Mourning

Sleepy, I walked down the senior hallway The last door on the left seemed miles away But I was determined to make it It was 7:26 in the morning, assignment due 7:30 My hands were sweating bullets Felt as if every senior had their eyes on me Assignment in hand, I started my journey Nerd, jocks, cheerleaders all bunched together in one walk-way You would think I was a running back, of some sort Dodging the potential mayhem Judy with the big booty was being so loud Laughing and screaming with her friends Drew and the crew obnoxious as usual, Were going over plays, at least it looked like it Trampling any victim in their path The Nerd Bird flocking in e=mc2 Calculate who will have a date in time for prom Starting with Judy, my hands were no match The sound waves catapulted me into the lockers Side to side I juked, spun, and jumped Like a magnet bouncing off the rhinoceros crew For the Nerds, I only had to say one thing… “I already have a date for prom…” That sent them into a mathematical frenzy Looking at their watches they said, “Prom is exactly 218 days 13 hours 27 minutes and 10 seconds away… There is no way you have your date!” While they babbled on I was on the move The last mayhem was upon me: The hall monitor He already saw my awesome display of athleticism But didn’t find it amusing, He was one of those guys… If you dropped a piece of paper on the floor, detention I just distracted him by saying, “I didn’t have breakfast…” We both didn’t know where that came from So I just kept waking while he was still confused Stumbled into class, discrediting my previous display And turned in my homework assignment
