After reading the poem, The Lesson by Roger McGough, I was suddenly inspired to write another poem which somehow relates to it. This is a poem written by me and entitled "The attack". It describes how a student goes into the teacher's office and create a havoc, killing teachers with amazing weapons.


THE DEMONSTRATION

Silence ruled OK in the office
as bravely as a student walked in
the discipline master ignored him
stood helplessly in the middle of the scene

"The lesson today for my class was violence
and homework was set
I'm going to show you how our teacher taught us
one that you'll never forget

He picked on a teacher who was chatting
and throttled him then and
then garrotted the teacher behind him
and it never end

With a sword in hand he hacked his way
between the HOD rows
'First come, first severed' he declared
'heads, fingers, or toes'

He threw a sword at the headmaster
it struck with deadly aim
then taking a machine gun
and continued his game

The continuous shot cleared the VIP office
(where those who are important hang out)
they collapsed like rubber dinghies
when the plug's pulled out

'May you please leave the office?'
a trembling vandal enquired
'Not until I have finished, sir' he answered
put the machine gun to his temple and fired

The bully popped a head round the door
to see why a din was made
nodded understandingly
then tossed in a grenade

The student shot with a bazooka
with blood on every chair
silence shuffed forward
with its hands up high in the air

The student surveyed the carnage
the dying and the dead
he waggled a finger severely
'Now this is what my teahcer did' he said
