Twas 6:45 and so sleepy was I,
I felt I could lay down and quietly die.
Although I just wanted to stay there and rest,

I looked to the door and saw a large guy.
My hopes were then dashed as I stared at our guest,

it was no castle
but it was a hassle
It was such a pain
but there were no chains
The school
