Andrew Herring Falling Asleep In BiologyA staple of each and every day So many things to be taught If only there was some other way The students sit quietly And listen with diligence No attention can be diverted If they wish to add to their intelligence But alas, I am not strong enough Terms fly in and of my ears But nothing seems to stick As the classroom slowly disappears… I feel myself floating, then drifting My senses turning numb Nothing will be learned today On the next test I shall look very dumb Falling now I feel wind blowing by my face Freedom and relaxation A much needed change of pace In a heartbeat my dream is dashed away The gentle rocking of my chair has played fool to my sense Jolting me back into reality Quickly I check if anyone has noticed my absence |
