School Life Diary
Welcome to my humble abode,
The window to my life.
Look within, and gaze upon the
sorrows
joys
and everything in between.
September 1st
The moment I step in,
I knew my vacation was over,
Here comes my personal hell.
Inside, I see so many others,
Were they shaking on the inside--Like me?
Inside my clammy palms,
Is my list of tortures to follow,
First Period: PE
Second Period: Science
Third Period: History
Fourth Period: Yearbook
Fifth Period: Math
Sixth Period: English
School, here I come.
PE
Clothes to wear,
Rules to follow,
Passed out like candy to children.
Teacher introduces self,
Students follow,
Hello, nice to meet you,
Lies, all.
Science
We walk in,but we don't sit down--
--inertia: what is in motion,stays in motion,
unless acted on by outside force--
We keep on walking,
No outside force,
Teacher is helpless.
History
I walk in,
Toward my own demise,
Walking corpse,
Like Pickett's charge.
I see the teacher,
Laughing, teasing,
Custer's last stand.
Yearbook
We are the crew who creates,
The book of the school,
I will have much to add,
My life, my voice.
My crew within the crew,
A friend,
An enemy,
One in the middle.
Lunch
A maelstrom, a storm,
An amalgam of rush, hunger,
And hurry.
Hurry, to the line,
Or face starvation.
Math
A personal hell,
Within hell,
What could be worse?
The teacher is sharp,
Has a calculating face,
I'm in for a ride,
And that isn't a hyperbola.
(see note)
English
The moment I enter,
I see I am alone,
In the corner of the room.
Others know others,
No others know me,
Like 'ain't' surrounded by good grammar.
Ain't that right?
Afterschool
A solitary friend,
I single out of the crowd,
We are two lone wolves,
Birds of feather.
We find comfort in each other,
Knowing we are alone in the crowd,
But not alone in each other.
Home
After turmoil of school,
Do I find oasis in my own house?
No, for school has followed me,
In the guise of homework.
Piles and piles,
Unfitting for a first day,
Threatening to drag me under,
Unless I fish myself out.
Note
Hyperbola: A graph (drawing)
Hyperbole: A figure of speech that exaggerates something
Note from ze Author: THIS IS STRICTLY FICTIONAL. But there might be a few allusions...

Life Explained
On the first day, God created the dog and said:
‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in
or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.’
The dog said: ‘That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten
years and I’ll give you back the other ten?’
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
‘Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give
you a twenty-year life span.’
The monkey said: ‘Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like
the Dog did?’
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said:
‘You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer
under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s
family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.’
The cow said: ‘That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for
sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?’
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said:
‘Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you
twenty years.’
But man said: ‘Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty,the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and
the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?’
‘Okay,’ said God, ‘You asked for it.’
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

For the record, I had no idea what ecstacy meant when I created the title.

EPIC FAIL dango
Big mistake.
I didn't have skewers, so I just stuck some toothpicks in them. The brownish black stuff is supposed to be mitarashi sauce, but it tastes like poo.
