School Days



On day one, I met someone,
who was a lot of fun,
she worked for the abortion clinic,
and came to teach us all to mimic,
a high earning brothel,
well my day was not dull,
she said orgies are good,
and gave me a willy made of wood.

On day two, in came Mr. Wu,
he told us about the feminist movement,
and how womens time is better spent,
On his factory floor,
where there are no windows and hardly a door.
Yes babies are something to fear,
we should all get a career.

On day three,
 I had hoped to study poetry,
we had English you see,
a real subject finally, but no silly me,
 there were only two choices,
both were suicidal romances,
Two class mates have died,
but we still read about suicide.

On day four,
I learned of the climate war,
Every day it is faught! The worlds just too hot! But theres also an ice age, on the next page,
and that acid rains still due,
which of course is my fault too.

On day five, another nose dive,
history just got rewritten,
it wasnt diverse enough back then,
so now Robin Hood's African.
Then we watched a video,
I learned something I did not know,
there are more than two genders,
and if your not one of those benders,
Your simply uncool, and don't belong in school.

About this poem

On the fifth day of christmas, my teacher gave to me, a steaming pile of genocidal diversity.
