It was just a game of soccer, Friday sport among students,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Started out civil, descended into anarchy, school kids sure\nare devils,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made doubly awkward by mixed genders, at an age where they\ncan\u2019t stand each other,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boys inevitably come out swinging, the gentlemen within\nstill non-existent,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teacher playing multiple roles, coach, referee, scorekeeper\nand even firefighter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At times putting out multiple fires, the heat of competition\nstoking young tempers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Threats to halt the game fall on deaf ears, it\u2019s like D-Day\non Omaha here,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A tough kid named Davey\u2019s among the ruffians, short and\nscrawny yet pugnacious,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Felt slighted when a girl nicked the ball from him, this was\nabject humiliation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saw red and shoved her, sent off immediately, red card\nwasn\u2019t needed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game ends not long after, Lil\u2019 Davey\u2019s still in hot\nwater,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made to help pack up the equipment, that\u2019s just half of his\npunishment,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assaulting a fellow classmate and makin\u2019 \u2018em cry is\ntantamount violent crime,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\u2019ll be forced to pick up papers, sentenced to detention,\nthe school equivalent to hard time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teacher demands that he write her an apology letter, here\u2019s\nhis chance for early parole,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just had to say \u2018sorry\u2019 but immaturity butted in like an\nangry billy-goat,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defiantly he picks up a pencil, scrawls his thoughts across\nthat paper,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The message simple but the impact as potent as fireworks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll get you for this,\u201d it read, straight-to-the-point, no\nfilter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like that his fate was sealed, heard it loud and clear\nfrom the Teacher,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGather your things and go to the principal\u2019s office, call\nyour parents and have \u2018em pick you up,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI won\u2019t tolerate that from you, Kid, go home and think\nabout what you\u2019ve done,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Davey complies, probably relieved to go home early on a\nFriday,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Done exposed himself as a fool and sore loser, but for him\nit\u2019s probably ok. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
