When there was Boredom

Frequent glares at the face of time
Tap your pencil or pen
I dont care about numbers prime
Nor the history of men

    I love it, at first i thought the inversion on numbers prime to be lame and forced, but after reading it over a few times, i realize it's effectiveness. needs nothing more, perfect as it is.

    How educating...

    If ever there was an accurate description of 2pm in school, this is definitely it. Like a snapshot.

    History and math classes, yuck.

    Reminds me of exam time, so many years ago.

    We wrote finals in the gym, under strict supervision.

    Nice rhythm rhyme and flow, good economy of words.

    Thanks for entering

    pithy and compact

    Every schoolchild's gripe.
    I hope those sentiments are long past.

      Thank You

      Here is to laughing at myself for having the 'nerve' to ever say I was bored. Does anyone know what Boredom means once they 'grow up'? lol. I don't.

    I used to feel this way too. A long, long, long time ago when I was still in school. I really enjoyed reading this one. It brought back memories and made me laugh
