26 (Teacher, Teacher)
(Blue, blue sky
And cotton clouds
Make a pretty day.)
Oh teacher, teacher,
Pick me now, for I have got the answer!
Oh teacher, teacher what’s that sound?
(it’s scary and completely wrong)
Are pots and pans falling?
Teacher, teacher!
What is wrong?
We needn’t huddle like penguins.
Teacher, listen now
Surely it’s just a quake,
Or maybe books a-dancing.
Oh, teacher
What’s that stain on your shirt?
You told us ’twas your favourite.
So why’s it dark and sticky and red?
(...)
Don’t you go to sleep...
Teacher, teacher!
Please wake up! I remembered how to add now!
Teacher, teacher!
I know now, twenty p

Untitled, But That Doesn't Mean It's Unimportant
First comes the flower, then the fruit,
I think you understand.
Whatever road you will pursuit,
Shall meet successful end.
And if the worms keep you from bloom-
You grow against their will
To fill them all with envy's gloom
And make them mighty ill.
So stand up straight and do us proud
You've got a way to go,
And when you're rich, I'll scream out loud:
"HA! I told you so!"

Curiosity Killed The Cat
I woke up in my lavish bed, feeling refreshed and revitalized. It will be a long day today. The inhabitants of my prevailing kingdom were not very happy, but to be honest, I didn’t see the point of those fools complaining. They should be grateful, really. I feed them the remainders of my dinner; provide homes and other shelters, all in exchange for them completing tasks that those of the Royal Feline Blood should avoid doing at all costs. How very pathetic of them to waste precious time complaining about trivial things, no?
I shouldn’t worry about this.
Lazily, I rolled off my bed and walked towards my bathing room, wit

Not A Blink Of Sleep
I sorted through piles and piles of necessities,
And counted all their riches, as well;
But still when I part this place...
I'll have to sort through something else,
count their riches once again.
Oh, but I've had
not a blink of sleep.
I had a conversation with a someone
Who tried to help, but could not do so.
Before that I was sending letters to my--
My love over the seas
in a faraway land.
Corny, isn't it? that someone said it was cute as well.
But still, through all this wasteful time,
I've had not a blink of sleep.
Inhaling the poison into my ti
