Some do some don't. <br />While others may come, <br />To observe the latest in Fall fashions. <br />With no intentions of opening a book. <br />And yet... <br />There will be a few in view, <br />Seen sharing their crack... <br />Between classes. <br />While those who say they love to teach... <br />Will come prepared reeking of alcohol. <br />Or found sipping from a 5th... <br />As the principal pays a surprise visit, <br />To give moral support... <br />To everyone brave enough, <br />Who left their weapons with security guards! <br /> <br />'I'd like to welcome you all. <br />And hopefully we will maintain our high standards!
