On a wooden shelf textbook waits Harboring facts, knowledge, dates Each year summer brings needed rest After each final, each test. But summer is gone and school has begun So away with freedom, the warmth of the sun To a teenage girl, textbook goes What horrors await? Textbook doesn't know. Hurled in a locker, metal slams Smothered by a shirt that says "Go Rams!" Shoved in a backpack, do not suffocate? Can't miss the school bus, hurry, don't be late! Scribbled and doodled on, "It tickles!" It screams But teenage girl doesn't realize silence is not what it seems Spilled soda burns; acid sweet Bubbling suffering unimaginable heat Left on a desk, a window so close Pages now stick, it is so gross With its strength the textbook flies It has just commited suicide.

Book Suicide
On a wooden shelf textbook waits Harboring facts, knowledge, dates Each year summer brings needed rest After each final, each test. But summer is gone and school has begun So away with freedom, the warmth of the sun To a teenage girl, textbook goes What horrors await? Textbook doesn't know. Hurled in a locker, metal slams Smothered by a shirt that says "Go Rams!" Shoved in a backpack, do not suffocate? Can't miss the school bus, hurry, don't be late! Scribbled and doodled on, "It tickles!" It screams But teenage girl doesn't realize silence is not what it seems Spilled soda burns; acid sweet Bubbling suffering unimaginable heat Left on a desk, a window so close Pages now stick, it is so gross With its strength the textbook flies It has just commited suicide.
