The Sounds of School

Pencils tapping, teachers snapping,
Kids are clapping, fingers rapping.

The desk is a drum, the popping of gum,
Endless umm, annoying hum.

Blowing a nose, the water flows,
Students oppose, the loud noise grows.

A quiet moan, an ignorant groan,
Erasers are thrown, blaring trombone.

The squeak of lead, a poem is read,
Jackets are shed, papers are spread.

An obnoxious sneeze, jingle of keys,
Coughing wheeze, smart kid agrees.

Test apprehension, stupid detention,
No comprehension, pay attention!

In school I am always distracted by the noises around me, so I took it to my advantage and wrote a little poem about it.
