T e Building Speaks While the seniors are saying their goodhyes, I'd like to get a few words in edgcwise. l feel entitled to have my say Since l was with them every day. l'm the huilding, wherein is the school, Sometimes the girls have heen very cruel. l'm sure they did it meaning no malice, But considering 1 used to look like a palace. Wielll But let's go hack to four years ago. I was standing there all aglow: I had just heen washed and was very clean. Then l saw them coming-all sixteen. They looked at me, each in turn. They looked so innocent-Live and learn! The thought of company made me smile For l'd lreen lonely for quite a while. I could hardly wait for them to arrive. For then IRI he filled from nine to five. when they moved in I was tickled pink. Gosh! I'd have a school in megjust think! The girls took over very fast: My loneliness was a thing of the past. The teachers helped to set the pace, And hetween them and the seniors it was some rat race. The teachers arenit kidding. it's far from a game, And no matter what happens. it's the seniors they hlame But to this thought Till put a halt By showing you who's really at fault. The girls are indeed amhitious and lnost of them strive To get from one l'NEW ' teacher a mark over twenty five. But I don't know if it can he done. He fails his students. just for fun. My rooms are nice, my seats huilt well, But from that teacher's actions you can never tell. Having no friends to lose, he makes new foes Wfhenever he isolates those utwo rowsf' He seats the girls with careful prudence, Separating the poorer from the better students. One teacher to keep order has a unique way He takes a pen and tap-taps away. He seems to forget that I am only rented. As a result. most of my desks are dented. - Twenty-Eight -
