Working at School

By Demir

Working at school

Writing down words

Not understanding why

This pesky vocab

Puts a pain in my thigh

I try to get over it 

and time goes by

I’m sweating all over

Trying to hold it together

But all this work 

Is more than an office clerk’s

But then I look at the clock 

Struck by a shock

School is over!
