Sixth Mass Extinction

Sixth Mass Extinction

 

Earth's sixth mass extinction event under way, scientists warn

 

-The Guardian

 

The headmaster has shaved his head egg-smooth

Shifted his hair to the point of his chin

And his sunshades to the top of his scalp

His petrol-station SAS sunshades

 

He often boasts he doesn’t even own a tie

And hasn’t read a book since Upper-Sixth

Something transgender post-colonial

About Guevara (who is on his tee)

 

Not a form master, but a master of forms

A way-cool disciple of Ofsted norms

 

 

Variant for the American Market

 

Sixth Mass Extinction

 

Earth's sixth mass extinction event under way, scientists warn

 

-The Guardian

 

 

Like, you know, the principal shaves his head

 

Like, absolutely, ***

 

Got him a goatee, like, actually

 

Cheap gas-station Official USA Navy Seals™® shades, mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

Not cool, *** actually

 

I had to help him with the big words in Goodnight, Moon

 

Absolutely, like

 

Yosemite Sam™® on his faunky ol’ tee

 

His office has, like, stuffed fish and, like, football pictures, like, and his Dallas Cowboys™® baseball cap, like, actually
