The School Rant

We all understand the saying
"Dress for Success"

Obviously we should try 
to look our very best 
 
But Sometimes these teachers 
take dress code too far 
I swear you guys stalk us 
til' we leave in our cars 
 
I understand that our pants 
should cover our rears
But why should tank tops 
cause teachers much fear 
 
Is it because 
the teachers are older 
No one will say 
"Dang that's a nice shoulder" 
 
Don't even get me started 
with the food that we eat
This so called pizza 
taste worst than my feet 
 
The food here is nasty 
and pricy as well
It's going to kill us 
and dang does it smell! 
 
And why are the Fries
the only food we can choke down 
What happen to the health crap 
that's always around? 
 
The food isn't fresh,
it's frozen I swear 
It's older than us 
being locked up in there 
 
Lets talk about the ceiling, 
the tables, and the floor
Right as you walk in,
you'll walk back out that door 
 
The ceilings are dripping 
with brown nasty blobs 
Can no one around here 
do there stinking jobs? 
 
And Some of our tables 
don't even have seats!
Might as well sit on the nasty floor
while we eat 
 
But the floor is disgusting
with engraved rust and hair 
And the carpets looked like 
they never had care 
 
Maybe our school could look 
so much better 
If they didnt waste money 
on things that don't matter 
 
They whole reason for iPads 
was to make the school high tech 
Their sole purpose for students
 is to play games at our desk 
 
I'm thankful for our school
It's education, that's lucky 
But the school is hypocritical, 
Uncared for and yucky
