FROM PRINCESS DIARIES!!!
Thrust into this dingy classroom
We die like lampless moths
locked into the desolation of
fluorescent lights and metal desks.
Ten minutes until the bell rings.
What use is the quadratic formula
in our daily lives?
Can we use it to unlock the secrets
in the hearts of those we love?
Five minutes until the bell rings.
Cruel algebra teacher,
Won' t you let us go?
O, what to do during algebra!
The possibilities are limitless.
There's drawing and yawning
and portable chess.
There's dozing and dreaming
and feeling confused
There's humming and strumming
and looking bemused.
You can stare at the clock,
you can hum a little song.
I've tried just about everything
to pass the time along.
BUT NOTHING WORKS!
