I was traumatized after receiving my very first detention in grade 4 when I threw a snowball at my friend. It turned out to be ice and he was badly injured for a week or so. Oh, good times.
Getting detention is the worst thing yet,
My first detention I’ll never forget
You go to the principal’s office and sit on a chair,
The scary feeling, I cannot bare
There are other kids involved in the situation,
And they each have an explanation
“ Maggie kicked Susan!” shouted Luce
“ Carrie bit Nick!” barked Bruce
But there was one person they blamed,
That was ME, what a shame!
Well, I was the one that kicked Susan,
She was acting so weird
She didn’t cry or anything,
She pinched me back, I got a sting
Principal, he just didn’t believe me,
All because there was a scrape on her knee
For a week, no recess, for a week, no fun,
Instead of staying in I would play in the sun
Have to write lines, over again,
I really don’t know if I can
Finally, when the week is done,
I WILL HAVE FUN IN THE SUN!
