Red Dirt Girl sent me this photo.
My original intention was to do a limerick
but things sort of got extended.
The Schoolgirl
In a school room,
Was a girl, whom
Didn’t learn the things she ought;
Late, as a rule,
She acted the fool
And her skirt was far too short.
Her lack of attention
Got her detention
And a corner, in which she was seated,
But she enjoyed the pain
Of a well applied cane
So her homework was never completed.

She was definitely pretending the role of a fool, thereby getting what she wanted. The rules worked in her favor, which does not happen for us all.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ... you have me smiling naughtily here ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, those naughty girls! You have me laughing this morning!
ReplyDeleteyikes! glad this does not describe my high school daughter:-)
ReplyDeleteSuch is life when one bends the rules. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, as usual. You made me laugh, right out loud! Things got extended... you're wickedly funny.
ReplyDeleteMuch smiling from the poem and from the comments! Whoa! What is shorter than a mini skirt? a ninny-skirt? hee hee.
