Passing A Note
I stood up in class and read the note
 That girl three rows back with powder blue eyes,
 Wrote it, she couldn’t wait five minutes for the bell
 So now I was suckered in and I’m living my own personal hell
  
 “Tell us what the note says, tell us what couldn’t wait.”
 The ignorant teacher asks
 Maybe if she opened her eyes
 She’d see what really went on in her class
  
 Adena texts her boyfriend
 They text every minute
 Their gooey-gooey love affair
 Is not private since Adena LOVES to share
  
 Joey sleeps because he’s up late at night
 He fights with his parents
 Smokes, drinks, and takes the car
 He’s out cold on her Greek lessons of a fearsome Minotaur
  
 Becky likes to spread the word
 Written on the bathroom stalls
 And every piece of gossip she’s ever heard
 She repeats it word-for-word
  
 But me? I’m the good kid
 I sit in class and write my notes
 I ace my tests and I’m never late
 My record is a pristine slate
  
 Stupid Sidney, she’s smirking now
 Yeah, she tossed me her note to pass
 For the quarterback with the broken nose
  But I’ve some tricks I’m ready to show
  
  
 “Dear Jake last night was great
 In my neighbors hot tub under the stars
 Too bad I screamed so loud
 They called the cop cars
  
 I’m over you and our fling is finished
 And its time I get this off my chest
 Why I screamed so hard and so loud  
 Before I went under, I forgot to take a breath!
  
 Love-You’re Ex Girlfriend, please don’t send another text”
  
 Personal hell, I faced it well
 Put Sidney in her rightful place
 Jake’s expression was gorilla and blank
 And the laughing class all had me to Thank
