Falling asleep in Classby Kenn Nesbitt

I fell asleep in class today,as I was awfully bored.

I laid my head upon my deskand closed my eyes and snored.

I woke to find a piece of papersticking to my face.

I’d slobbered on my textbooks,and my hair was a disgrace.

My clothes were badly rumpled,and my eyes were glazed and red.

My binder left a three-ringindentation in my head.

I slept through class, and probablyI would have slept some more,except my students woke meas they headed out the door.
