Nightmare Test

Happy Halloween

Hello, and welcome to the test.
I will be your proctor,
please take a seat.
It will consist of several parts
and will determine your worth.

First question:
Elucidate the proletariat
of the nodules of your soul,
contrasting the transverse particles,
which may or may not exist.

Next,
please remove one of your eyeballs
and place it on the table.

Good.

Now calculate both the mass and girth,
Noting the chemical spectrography
In a 12 dimensional matrix.

Scott! Put the phone down!

Now find Scott's anti-linear bile duct.
Please take a scalpel
and past the rest back.

Of course you have to hold him down,
have you been paying attention in class?
Calculate the specific gravity of the exude.

Finally,
compose rampant solidarity
among the demons in your cantilevered falsehood.

And if you'll all just break your own arms on the way out the door, we'll be done.
There's a vice at the rear,
help your classmates.

We may go to the same school! I loved this dissection of the school experience =]

[jacob erin-cilberto]

reminds me of biology class in high school and the dissection we did.
But here the class mates are dissecting each other in more ways than one.
Being dismantled by the other students by the teacher and just by his own lack of attention.
In my Catholic High school one of the priests who was my teacher pulled a prank on me.]
I fell asleep in class...he did not wake me and hushed the class when they walked out of the room when class was over. I woke up in the next class...pretty damn embarrassing....but I surely never
fell asleep in class again...at least I still had both eyeballs when I woke up.
this is halloween in its best form of fright reality.

What an absolutely shocking test for those who've already learned their ABC, you are playing games in your room sans windows and door.. and am already locked in here, quietly cogitating wondering where the rope is. Ceiling? No. Curled up along with that python? No.. In that case, will just sit against the wall and and catch my breath... now, then, where did it go?

Nice try, brilliant try, but, in all honesty, I failed the test, but enjoyed the trial and error galorious. basis.

So... You... Like the poem?

[emmajoy]

Did I like it? I found it bewildering but held my attention. Reminded me of artwork by Bosch or Memling which isn't something to share with granny. Don't really know how you wanted a reviewer to feel or think but being challenged is something one needs to do. .

past huh?

A Monster High... homeroom. A shock-valued non-soliloquy to tease the few that HAVE a clue. Good word choice.

This read like a class of zombies and demons et al, with very detachable parts. Loved the 'nodules of your soul" I think that's great imagery for real, human souls, kinky and flawed! Enjoyed this read very much!

I'm so damn jealous I could squeal. I consider myself pretty prolific in the Halloween ditty department, but you just smoked my a*s to kingdom come and back. Oooh! I'm jealous! This poem takes THE MOST original route to Halloween that I've ever been led upon. Everything about this oozes feisty face-slapping madness & now I must screech thru my sparse brain cells to see if I can come up with anything as sublime as being tested to determine my worth! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Your reviews always brighten my day. It's nice to know that if I put out something exceptionally weird and morose at least you will get it. Thank you for the read.

[Dave Brown]

typically terrible at tests, I crashed on the first attempt
Does that mean I will or won't have nightmares
Could U make simpler tests?

[T.S. Ulmus]

You're right, I think an 11-dimensional matrix would be fine. I will allow for a retest but unfortunately the eyeball thing stands. Thank you for the read and the review .
