This was an english assignment. It's supposed to be a parody of "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas. We had to pick a topic to rant about, and I thought it would be ironic to rant about busywork in an assignment that is just busywork. This has nothing to do with anything we've been doing in class. Well, anyway, here it is...
Do Not Assign Busywork To Your Class
Do not assign busywork to your class
If there’s a purpose, I fail to see
Assignments lurking like snakes in the grass
Oh, the stress, it feels like shattered glass
Soon it will be summer and we’ll be free
Assignments lurking like snakes in the grass
In my backpack, all these papers amass
Almost graduation when all will flee
Assignments lurking like snakes in the grass
Soon all this will dissipate just like gas
With frustration I scream like a banshee
Assignments lurking like snakes in the grass
Very often I wish I could just pass
Unfortunately, that just cannot be
Assignments lurking like snakes in the grass
Finally exhausted is this poor lass
So, in closing I shall firmly decree
Do not assign busywork to your class
Assignments lurking like snakes in the grass
