High School Hijinks

Smoking in the boy's room...

Kibitzing a test...

Peeping the girl's locker room,

A brash unwelcome guest.

Monday morning cutting class.

Off to "Mickey D's",

Sneaking peeks at skirts hiked high

Above the teacher's knees.

Empty hallways populate

And scurry off from harm,

'Til moments later someone yells

"It was a false alarm".

Wondering who the moron was

Who pulled the bitter joke.

Although thankful for the break,

We still hoped they would choke.

Waiting for the final bell,

The governor's reprieve.

Knowing if we ne'er returned,

Not one of us would grieve.

High school hijinks. What a blast!

A howl! A hoot! A wow!

If I had only known back then

Half of what I know now.
