Well I tried to get back to normal and write a

Poem that was normal I mean with meter and

Rhyme and form and all that normal stuff and

To tell you the truth it isn't a bad poem I

Mean it's not great or anything but it seems

A little lackluster when I compare it to these

Eighteen-line monstrosities which I sort of

Feel guilty about writing and all because

They're so easy for me to write like I feel

Like I'm cheating or something but I guess

It's okay to cheat I mean when I was a teacher

I used to stand in the doorway facing the 

Hall when I had to give a Regents exam to the 

Kids in other words I let them have a few minutes

To cheat because I felt sorry for them and those

So-called tests were ridiculous anyhow they 

Just hurt the kids and of course they still

Give them and kids still fail it's a crime.
