A()las(s) in class

Alas in class I can not stand,

for sitting stuck

I am

 

Bricked in within this open tomb,

a lamb not on the lamb

 

Penned in among a hundred sheep,

as, subtle thought, is shorn

 

This lectures lies on liberty,

a dogma badly worn

 

A lass up front, her words float forth,

entreating minds, "Obey!"

 

As silence echos loudly back,

against the yawning day

 

Perhaps tis cruel to vicious rule

this agony too long

 

To taunting treat and witty beat

this croaking siren song

 

Alas in class I must to stay,

or lass will doom my GPA

 

But even so I worry not,

as time entangles now my lot

 

For though this lass has caught me in

a class from which I wish to win

my freedom yet I do not fear

the warped ties that bind me here

at last a lass will be no more,

this bit of class will dull it's bore

 

And freedom will at last then come

as class, alas and this, is done
