The Sounds of School
February 20, 2015
Pencils tapping, teachers snapping,
Kids are clapping, fingers rapping.
The desk is a drum, the popping of gum,
Endless umm, annoying hum.
Blowing a nose, the water flows,
Students oppose, the loud noise grows.
A quiet moan, an ignorant groan,
Erasers are thrown, blaring trombone.
The squeak of lead, a poem is read,
Jackets are shed, papers are spread.
An obnoxious sneeze, jingle of keys,
Coughing wheeze, smart kid agrees.
Test apprehension, stupid detention,
No comprehension, pay attention!

Good description of school!! Thanks for writing
In school I am always distracted by the noises around me, so I took it to my advantage and wrote a little poem about it.
