Maths and Science by Kate Toon

I'm not that good at maths,

my brain don't work that way.

And science is for nerds,

and people who are gay.

I'm pretty good at sports,

and woodwork isn't bad.

But really school is stupid,

the teachers are all sad.

I'd rather have a job,

like Gavin down the street.

he's working for a butcher,

and nicking lots of meat.

He gets to cut up cows,

make sausages and shit.

I reckon I could do that,

I'd be really good at it.

But I've got two more years,

Mum says that I can't go.

I bunk off every day,

She doesn't even know.

With school, it's like, whatever!

Who cares about that stuff?

I'm good at the nintendo.

Isn't that enough?

The Dance by Joanne Chan

They said “you should be dancing”

And I just couldn’t figure out why

I saw them out there flailing about

To tell you the truth, I think I’d rather die.

The men were making silly faces

And the girls were shaking their bums

There some that were doing little jigs

And one who was pretending to run

This went on forever

Until I couldn’t take it anymore

I yelled “STOP”, and they all looked at me

As I strode to take the floor

The crowd hushed to a quiet

The spotlight came on me

A sweet melody started up

And at last, I showed them how it should be

There was none of that ungracefulness

Just a few delicate steps

Ones that would change their world

Ones that would never rest

I called this dance the Monster Mash

And the crowd could clearly see

The was a dance for the future

Now THIS,

this is how it should be
