I wrote this after my freshman year in band, and though it's really badly written, it's kind of cute if you're in band and know how it feels. ;D

Oh, and by reading through this, you will see why I gave up on writing poetry a LONG time ago.

~

I got an inspiration for this last night while thinking about what kind of hell the beginning of marching season is going to be. This is about a typical day of a marching contest, and it can be quite hectic, but I tried not to ramble on for 100 lines. The flow is nothing like I imagined, but at least it isn't depressingly morbid or forced cheerfulness like most of my poems. If you're in marching band, you know just how this is...

~

Up at five, back at two.
Not again, forgot my shoe.
Have to march in socks.
Teacher thinks this music rocks.

Usin' breath that ain't there.
Sure hope we do fair.
Don't look at the judge.
Gonna fall, oh fudge!

So hot, can't hardly see.
Someone unzip me!
Time for awards.
What we've worked towards.
Yeah, got a one!
Well, it's been fun.

Back of the bus singin' off-key.
Go pop in that DVD.
Go away; don't be a pest.
Just let me lay back and rest.

"Mr. Madison, what you?ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

"You are just a paranoid troll with a fuse the length of a mouse?s wang. You may continue to troll, but know that I retain the justified right to turn off my hearing in your direction any moment, and I believe that others have that right as well."

"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved."

"Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice."

"Heads are what hold brains and smiles, so they're all that really matter in the end anyway."

"Yes, I am jealous of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." ;D

"I want to grill burgers with the flames he makes when he lights his farts."

"My mom says all the cool people knit while they DDR."

"We need to invent a machine that can juice the juices out of a brain."

Lol, the words of a band geek are universally understood among those who are a part of the cult-like marching band culture. ;D
