This Is a Test
This is a test
It's only a test
wait ... this can't be a test
if this were a test
you'd be directed to your seat
This is not a test
I Repeat
This is not a test
in the event of an actual test
you would need a sharpened
number 2 pencil
(why not number 1)
(did that one break?)
and you'd be required to
put away all electronic devices
(how silly)
If said test were tested
would it be protested?
would I be arrested?
if I persisted and peacefully resisted?
all the while undressed
addressing those invested
tempting tempers tested
at tests detested?
*this futile attempt at humo(u)r will
self destruct in 30 seconds or less*
This has been a test
or was it?
