Today's Lesson

As class begins, my boredom sets in,
I’m fighting a battle I can’t seem to win.
Every few minutes I look at the clock,
Yet all I hear is a somber tick-tock.
The lecture goes on, I try to stay awake.
Just let the bell ring for goodness sake.
Tick tock tick tock, no time has passed,
With 20 more minutes I don’t think I’ll last.
His talking goes on, it doesn't seem to stop
Yawn after yawn, my eyelids drop.
My head hits the desk with a solid smack,
Resounding through the room like a bullet’s crack.
All eyes on me, the laughter starts to spread,
I can feel the heat rising, as my face gets red.
I vow to myself as the snickers start to pass,
NEVER AGAIN, will I fall asleep in class.
