Mini Cooper

Elevator at the ground floor

with doors yawning wide-

the football team wondered...

would a car fit inside?


They had the perfect target-

a principal hated by all;

proud of his new Mini Cooper-

fast, trendy, and very very small.


So after the first morning bell

conspirators gathered at the gym;

rolled his Mini up to the lift,

opened the door and pushed it in.


With a groan the cables broke:

the elevator plunged out of sight.

A tremendous crash came from below-

the football team fled in fright.


A crane was called in, but no means could be found

to lift the Mini from it's stainless steel grave.

It lies there still, a monument to all;

quietly rusting away in a man-made cave.


And, as for the boys? Of course they were caught;

a snickering sheriff hauled them all in.

On Friday, a substitute team took to the field

and their opponents achieved a 77-0 win.
