"I Hit My Principal (Accidentally)"
By Elizza
My year was practically ruined
After winter break
I’d better explain,
I made a horrible mistake!
It was the beginning of January
Winter break was nearing an end
It was time to go back to school
And I was excited to see my friends.
Rumor had it, there was a new strict principal
I’d heard you wanted to stay on her good side.
She had eyes that could glare and a dramatic flair
And when it came to trouble… she never let it slide.
I was speeding down the slopes
Wind flying behind me
I got ready to turn
But my pole was on the wrong timing!
It swung through the air,
And then... SMACK!
I looked up to see
It had hit a woman’s back!
I was terrified,
As she started to turn around
My eyes went wide
And my mouth made some sort of sound.
Her eyes were angry and fierce
Like the eyes of a tiger
She gritted her teeth
To control the fury inside her.
She seemed so familiar.
And I should’ve known at first sight.
Then suddenly it struck me
She’d been on the school’s website!
She was the new principal
And I’d just WHACKED HER with my pole!
What was I going to do?
OH NO OH NO OH NO!
What would she say?
What would she do?
She couldn’t hold this against me
When I went back to school.
Never looking back,
I caught some speed and skied away.
I didn’t dare turn to look
At the woman who was going to make me pay.
Later, I was full of dread
As I walked into school
I braced myself -anything could happen
Under the principal’s rule.
Sure enough, when the clock struck noon
My name came over the loudspeaker
They called me down to the principal’s office
And I slowly walked past my teacher.
Out of the classroom,
Out of the hall,
Down the stairs
Down them all.
I found the office and stood by the door
I braced myself and shook with fear
I opened the door, stepped inside
And the rest of the story… you’re not going to hear.
But let’s just say,
My year was a DISASTER!
So don’t get on your principal’s bad side
She won’t EVER let you slide past her.
