Today
is a Monday
is a Boringday
boring right now
but...
your friends could force you
at the last minute
into a drawing contest
even though
you’re really not in the mood
at least
not until you win
you could have a sub in science
and you could tell her, “We’re learning about chemistry!”
even though it’s really physics
so instead of E=MC2
you get to set off a soda and baking powder rocket
at lunch
your BFF is out sick
so
you resign yourself to eating lunch alone
or with the weird new girl
well, you think she’s weird, until it turns out
she’s from Turkey
knows five different languages
and can cook like nobody’s business
Today
is a Monday
a Boringday
boring at the beginning
but...
not anymore
