STOP TEXTING!

  Listening to another Lecture

  Calculating my chances for spontaneous combustion,

  Praying for a sign from above

  or below.

  Gaze fixated on Albert Einstein,

  This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

  pondering existence of hair products in that ERA.

  Eyes drifting down reading his question, “A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?”

  Devils texting me and every person in my row,

  “join the dark side,

  we have cookies.”

  Hearing Destiny honk from the car,

  Wheel of Fortunate turning

  And our winner is-

  Triumphantly shredding sanity into confetti,

  I scramble past desks trampling over sleeping classmates

  Victoriously prancing out the door.

  Cell phones clicking madly along my row,

  Professor James spoke reprimanding us sinners,

  “Pay attention class, 15 more minutes to go!”
