STRANGE OCCURRENCES

"And so kids,
'I' before 'E,' except after 'C'
Otherwise, who will get angry and attack you?
None other, of course, than young lonely 'B'"
The English teacher recited to the class,
as though it were composed of a lad and a lass.
But who wanted to be included in the fray?
The old, forgotten Giver book, so full of gray.
"What about me?" the book cried in alarm.
And suddenly, up jumped Animal Farm,
"Moo! I'm as angry as a mouse!"
it shouted to the man in a blouse.
"Personification students, in front of your eyes!"
The teacher shouted to the girls and guys.
"Somebody throw water on them!" smart Billy said,
and as soon as this happened, the books curled up dead.
"What a strange adventure we've had today,
but stranger than all, is that the author can't rhyme 'today.'"
"So change it!" yelled Billy,
"How about-" he started,
But Billy's smartness, away it had darted.
"To see this almost makes one feel said,"
said one hamster to another, both whom were bad.
"Tomorrow there whall be here no classroom,
for we shall sweep it away with a class broom"
And everybody there started to laugh,
those who were evil, those who were happy, and those split in half.
We slowly zoom-out, on this odd winter day,
Leaving everyone behind,......some-word-that-rhymes-with-"day".

Some notes:

1. Billy the smart one is not the same as the group member during the fatal five story
2. I think this is one of my favorite things I've ever written
3. "Day"/"Today" are screwed up words that should **** off. I hate them. A LOT!
