Ruthless Rhymes for Stupid Students

As a result of manifest student iniquities in lectures, I have a new hobby. First installment:

Machine-gun turrets waste the sod.
I thus, with shame and satisfaction
Plug his social interaction.

Cell phones in lectures.
Raptor among the pigeons.
Feathers, scattering.

Lone cellphone shrieking,
Pale cherry blossoms falling,
Rust blood rushing. Peace.
