Wishing the wall wasn't green

A friend of mine wrote this. Check out her blog at:

Year upon year, in desks we sit

Quiet halls filled with rows of quiet students

Shoe watching teachers

Tear stained papers

And everyone wishing, the wall wasn't green

Times written on the board, getting slashed one by one

The clock on the wall, tick-tock, tic-tock

Pens scribbling, fruiously

Erasers rubbing, vigorously

Staring at the wall, wishing that it wasn't green

The last ten minutes, then five, the one

The sprint to the finish or a stroll to the line

When the teacher calls out, "Stop!" and "Pens down!"

You know you should follow, or shit will go down

And all the while wishing, that damn wall wasn't green
