Revenge of the Lunch Ladies
By
Kenn Nesbitt
2. My teacher took my iPod.
She said they had a rule:
3. I couldnt bring it into class
or even to the school.
4. She said she would return it;
Id have it back that day.
5. But then she tried my headphones on
and gave a click on Play.
6. She looked a little startled,
but after just awhile,
she made sure we were occupied
and cracked a wicked smile.
7. Her body started swaying.
Her toes began to tap.
8. She started grooving in her seat
and rocking to the rap.

She thinks its now okay
to bring my iPod into class.
