Communications Class
You babble like a mindless drone
With stature of a garden gnome
No one hears you when you speak
We wonder when you'll shut your beak
With each loud word you slow down time
We'd like you better as a mime
You seem to forget, we're not in grade five
By the end of class we're barely alive
Full stop, noun, subject, verb
Everything we've already heard
Repeated from your cathedral mouth
Makes us want to migrate south
Nothing personal, you seem quite nice
But we already learned the comma splice
Give us something for what we paid
Or another poem will have to be made
With stature of a garden gnome
No one hears you when you speak
We wonder when you'll shut your beak
With each loud word you slow down time
We'd like you better as a mime
You seem to forget, we're not in grade five
By the end of class we're barely alive
Full stop, noun, subject, verb
Everything we've already heard
Repeated from your cathedral mouth
Makes us want to migrate south
Nothing personal, you seem quite nice
But we already learned the comma splice
Give us something for what we paid
Or another poem will have to be made
I wondered if it was karma that the only time I received a ticket for not paying for parking on campus was tonight, after I had written this poem...

Somehow hearing (with my mind's ear in this case) the words 'comma splice' come from someone other than me makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
(Yes, I'm weird. What can I say? I'm a Conley. :P)
