Elementary

Schools aren’t made for boys  
They are made for girls  
Who will sit quietly  
And pay attention
 
Schools aren’t made for boys  
Boys are not made to stay in one place
They are here & there,
In this space or that space
 
Schools aren’t made for boys  
Boys learn kinetically
They can sit or stand
As long as they are learning
 
Schools aren’t made for boys  
While girl shake their heads,
Roll their eyes and practice their
Handwriting skills
Through endless repetition  
 
Schools aren’t made for boys  
Girls understand books,
But they will never
Fully understand boys
Boys are unpredictable
 
However, all too soon
Girls will like boys
And boys will like that
Though they won’t admit it
For a long while
 
Then behind the makeup  
And the smile
Girls will learn that
The only thing worse  
Than a boy who hates you
Is a boy that loves you
 
And boys will learn  
There’s nothing more
Complicated than girls
 
Boys will be boys
And girls will be girls
Each learning in  
Their own way
Though, it is life
Who gives them  
A true education
