Every elementary or middle school
Has (at least) one.
You know the guy,
Who cracks everybody up
With his spot-on impersonation
Of Mrs. Biggles, the dumpy little English teacher ?
Or the girl
Who could roll her eyes while making a fish-face !
We were so busy laughing that
We never noticed
They were wearing last year's shoes,
And nobody
Asked them to the prom.
So they asked each other !
I hear they have four kids now
And they're still broke,
But nobody ever cries
In their house !
