Overheard at a local cafe,
where some kid heard some other kid say,
“Schools are closed for the year.
Now my homework is beer,
and my final exam’s MDA.”
As a senior, this totally sucks:
problematic, BIG time! Here’s the crux:
Sure, I’ve got time to kill,
and a season to fill,
but now what the hell good is this tux...?!
Of the COVID, I’m not scared a bit.
Nor of death, nor of any of it.
So, what tears me apart...?
What puts fear in my heart?
I’m afraid that I’m getting a zit!
The gym locker room...? One giant germ!
And school lunch...? Oh, God! Don’t make me squirm.
All day long the bells ring,
but I’ll tell you one thing:
Glad I took AP Hoarding last term.
Active shooter...? Quick! Lockdown the space!
A tornado...? Uh-h-h...shelter in place!
But the weirdest of all
comes from something so small:
I may die just from touching my face!
