I’m Cool

Miss, You ain’t even cool!

          They don’t pay me to be cool.

                    Now,

                             Tuck in your shirt

                             Pull up your pants

                             Tighten your belt

Miss, Let it go, Try to be cool!

          My job is to enforce the rules.

                    So,

                             Spit out your gum

                             Take out the earring

                             Button your shirt

Hey Miss, You’re moving towards cool!

          Maybe you’re starting to enjoy school!

                    Let’s    

                             Pull up a chair

                             Get out the books

                             Finish some work

Miss, I’m confused, I don’t understand!

          Let’s look at it again.

                    There

                             Slow down

                             Take your time

                             We’ll do it together

Hey I got it!!

          Way cool!!

                    Thanks Miss!!

It has been said

          I am so cool ice cubes are jealous!!
