Sonnet Sunday’s: Accusations

  Like a tormented soul, you begin to shout Ranting on subjects you know nothing about To everyone, near your words are so profane Giving us reason to believe you’re insane Your anger is sent in my direction Before we begin, let’s make the correction Your attitude is not what I would expect Especially your total lack of respect A barrage of words you now want to exchange Honey, there’s no way in hell you’re in my range Those flapping lips are starting to take their toll Listen up, buttercup, that’s not how I roll I want you to remember just who I am ‘Cause once I get started, I won’t give a damn Best check yourself before you see my black heart My words will literally tear you apart So don’t count on me giving you any slack There’s no way to survive my verbal attack Ask yourself if this is what you desire My words will burn your sorry ass like fire

The only problem was that he was a giant douche bag. If Cafferty ever had a teacher whom he hated most, it was Banjos. What could the teacher do that was so horrid to warrant a child’s disdain, long enough to last into adulthood? He did what the other teacher did. He placed him in the corner, made sure that he was shunned by the other children, and lied. Eric did the same thing, focusing on one homework subject and neglecting the others. That meant that homework wasn’t done, and he had to get his assignment book signed by both teachers and parents. Again, the work suffered as he didn’t understand what was going on and just wrote anything to get it done.             Then there came the time that he was tired of being in the corner and made a deal w...
