LOL, BRB, OMG

I’ve never understood these short forms,

They were used left, right and center,

By my friends when they passed notes.

Until the day I started using Facebook,

It isn’t a book,

It’s a place for people to meet,

Socialize and greet.

Short forms everywhere,

Here and there.

They became the Language,

Of Teens everywhere.

LOL, OMG and BRB,

Teens became used to these,

They made mistakes in essays,

Teachers despaired; but what could they say?

Even now, despite warnings,

Teens are attached to that dreaded place,

Ruining their language and wasting their time.

But how can I blame anyone?

For I am a teen too.

Ms. Honey’s Aunt

Dedicated to Ms. Trunchbull, Ms Honey’s aunt from Matilda by Roald Dahl

I hate Her,

For her fat figure,

For her stupid comments,

And for her idiotic bonnets.

I hate her,

Because she’s made it clear,

That she hates me too.

I’m sick of all her do’s and don’ts

She makes me want to stamp,

And say “I won’t!”

She tries her best to make me cry,

There hasn’t been a day since August,

That my cheeks have been dry.

I go to sleep at when the world does,

With a sick feeling in my heart.

It’s me she beats,

I’m the one who weeps,

I’m powerless against her,

Somebody, kill her!

I know she killed dad,

She denys it because

It proves that she’s bad.

I found a house then,

I moved in, proudly and thankfully,

And now, she has no one to clean her den.

Then Matilda helped me,

She helped me scare Aunt,

Now she’s gone, and I’m free!
