Was School the Best Thing On Earth

Was School the Best Thing On Earth?

Mary’s little lamb was not me really, 
I had alternative thoughts inside, innately; 
I confided in who I loved, trusted sanely, 
But secrets are selfish very most truly. 

I knew I had a place and a time, 
And although on that day I may not rhyme, 
Thought that I should’ve been able to mime, 
And that one day I should be fine. 

Imposing relativities, shrieking was done, 
But to me they didn’t have a gun; 
In society I had a friend and hun, 
And that they shouldn’t so pun. 

But school has the upper-hand, 
Is the legs upon which you stand, 
But you can give it a hand, 
When it’s in the wrong band.
