Falling asleep in Classby Kenn Nesbitt
I fell asleep in class today,as I was awfully bored.
I laid my head upon my deskand closed my eyes and snored.
I woke to find a piece of papersticking to my face.
I’d slobbered on my textbooks,and my hair was a disgrace.
My clothes were badly rumpled,and my eyes were glazed and red.
My binder left a three-ringindentation in my head.
I slept through class, and probablyI would have slept some more,except my students woke meas they headed out the door.
