(ok so its a slightly modified villanelle) I just cannot wait to be free From the clutches of boring school The clock spins 'round with sleepy glee It's nearly stopped, it's teasing me Laughing at the impatient fool I just cannot wait to be free Am I the only one who can see That time is merciless and cruel The clock spins 'round with sleepy glee I yell out loud, a desperate plea That the clock's hands and I should duel I just cannot wait to be free The teacher stands, states her decree Wind falls from sails, yarn from my spool The clock spins 'round with sleepy glee Now the dean, she wants to see me As other kids run home from school I just couldn't wait to be free -And the clock still spins with sleepy glee ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

This is great, Sys! I enjoyed this very much! I remember those days sitting in class staring at that clock! And now I do the same in work! (...ooops, maybe I shouldn't have told you that!)  ------------------ Denise |

So true. Those clocks are so anoying during school. They seem to take their time during, but after time goes by so fast and it's time to be back in school. What's even more anoying is when you have to stay after school, and the time just slowly ticks by. -I HATE CLOCKS- (lol) |

Very cleverly written, SD, and the form is exact, almost. hehe [This message has been edited by Balladeer (edited 11-12-1999).] |

Thank you, everyone, for the replies. I wrote this after watching the clock in math class for about 20 minutes.------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |
