PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

"There's a frog in the restroom," a girl said with a smile.

I should have known that something was amiss.

But I forgot the time of year and sent a boy to catch it.

I'm an easy mark and one they can't resist.

The frog was non-existant but THE BOY got caught inside

The girl's room even though he had a pass.

It took him twenty minutes to explain why he was crouching,

And looking in the stalls.  It was a blast.

Then someone took a napkin and stopped the water fountain

From draining.  Water sprayed until it overflowed.

I should have taken measures to curtail the mass confusion,

But one lost soul just couldn't take the chance.

And anyway, I'm thinking that if questioned I can fall back

On the fifth ammendment in all cicumstance.

A food fight in the lunchroom insured that my dry cleaners

Would be taking a vacation in July.

And if my last class listens as well as all the others,

I'll probably collapse and have a cry.
