Just a nod

It just vanished like a dream

I really tried to listen to the lesson

But my eyes seemed to see the lovely world of dreams.

I really tried not to nod while the teacher was talking

But my head seemed to find my desk as comfortable as a pillow.

I could still hear my teacher's voice

But it seemed faraway.

I tried to understand the lesson

But my brain couldn't seem to function well.

Temptation was really hard to resist.

I supposed that one nod wouldn't seem wrong.

But as I tried to shut myself from the world,

My wonderful wish just vanished like a dream.

My heart was suddenly filled with dread as my teacher said

 "Get one fourth sheet of paper. We will be having a quiz."

I supposed that was really my fate

But seriously, just how hard my life can be?

I think too hard about a point someone is talking about and by the time I come out of my thoughts the person has already gone on to the next point...so I nod off or get lost in thought when people are talking too sometimes.

Ah, the trials of being a student . . . . well rmembered no matter how long ago. I remember taking cheating to its most professional form and never having been caught. I take great pride in that now but then I'm an eccentric allowed to do such things. A delightful write meallea, I enjoyed it greatly.
