Bubble gum bubble gum in a dish
Cinderella suffered from that snake's kiss
Kicked the ball over the gate
Why did recess end so late?
I know because I count the time
I spent against this wall of mine
Ropes hold no interest with me
Everyone has learned to let me be
Five or more raise the score
Are words that I've been craving for

Social Studies takes too much time
Why bother standing on the front line?
Gravity makes all things fall
I want to have a cell wall
Maybe I can use it to hide in gym
Team choosing is a game I never win
Four plus four equals forty-four
My reasonable reasoning, you ignore
But back to science, do I really need it?
I thought we relied on the holy spirit

Remember, this is the mosque and this is the steeple
And this is a crowed of stranger people
That golden rule says treat me well
So which one of us is going to hell?
The answer is in the pastor's preach
But she didn't practice, nor did she teach
'Sing for the words, not the melody, dear'
But this wondrous feeling my heart does not feel
In a room of 'family', I feel alone
All I want to do is go home

Kicking off the long, dark, and burdensome day
Now get up, pick it up, and put it away
No more TV, it's football night
Gonna get in trouble if you try to fight
Answer my questions, I just wanna know
Pest, bug, a nuisance, 'why don't you just go?'
Play out side and have some fun?
I'll go play tag with my one friend, the sun
Can you identify with this poetic peephole?
I guess it's hard to relate to some people
