"Oh, what fresh hell is this?"-Anonymous


Does anyone know when this class ends?
How much longer do we have to play?
Forty more minutes left, my friends,
Come on, Clara this is the best part of the day

What am I learning from this game?
What good is this for someone who endeavors to write fiction and join Greenpeace?
It builds character, that is the aim
And helps keep you from getting obese

How can I survive forty more minutes of gym class?
How can I possibly make it that long?
Tough up, Frascello, and don't give me sass
And try to enjoy dodgeball with the rest of the throng

Thirty-nine more minutes yet, can you make it?
Thirty-nine, now is that so very bad?
Thirty-nine? I fear I WON'T make it
And if I died from the stress, now wouldn't that be really tragic and sad?

Why isn't the bell ringing, why won't it be over?
Whatever happened to the Geneva Convention?
I feel like a prisoner here, and moreover
If the bell doesn't ring I will need an intervention
