"Dump On Us!"

by Michael Dowdin - Not entered

At home, in and out; we are given too much work.
While at school, we are loaded down with schoolwork.

So much so, that our small brains become atomic.
I do not need this; I have plans to become a comic.

What we need is a referee, go-between, or an umpire.
All this heavy homework causes us to go haywire.

To us, every school day gets more and more hetic.
We would rather not learn any hard math or Arabic.

Sometimes our head becomes faint-like and comatose.
Then our brain changes to something dead or starts
to decompose.

My bird brain is very easy to kill and destroy.
Everyone at home and at school is a killjoy.

Whenever my blue book bag is much too heavy.
It causes me to be fall down the concrete levy.

This heavy stuff has made my head a little flatter.
Mainly because of all the forced subject matter.
