Muir 40


DON WAS A LAD WHO MADE A BIG MISTAKE
HE ENROLLED IN MUIR 40, A CLASS HE HAD TO TAKE
LITTLE DID HE KNOW THE HELL THAT AWAITS
HE WAS IN HADES, AND STOOD AT THE GATE
INSIDE, THE T.A., WHO RAN THE CLASS
HAD NO COMPASSION FOR THIS POOR SOUL.
THE SHIT PILED ON HIM HIGH AND FAST,
AND HE LOST ALL HOPE OF FINDING THE GOAL.
A FIREY DEATH IS NOW IN PLAIN VIEW
DON KNOWS HE CAN'T ESCAPE
THE PAPER ASSIGNMENTS ARE LONG PAST DUE
LET THERE BE NO MISTAKE.
THE CLASS WAS INDEED A HIGHWAY TO THE GRAVE
DON'S STUPIDITY IS CLEAR AS A CRYSTAL BALL
HE COULD NOT DO THE WORK, HE COULD ONLY RANT + RAVE.
IN HIS ULTIMATE WISDOM, HE MADE A VOODOO DOLL
OF HIS T.A., THE SOURCE OF ALL HIS WOE
THIS DOLL BECAME A SYMBOL OF HIS GREATEST FOE
ONE DAY AFTER CLASS, DON TOOK THE DOLL IN HAND
AND SAID TO IT, "THIS SUFFERING WILL NOT STAND!"
WITH THAT HE STUCK A NEEDLE
THROUGH THIS SYMBOL OF ANGUISH AND PAIN
HE STABBED IT ONCE, HE STABBED IT TWICE
HE STABBED IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
THE T.A. DIDN'T FEEL A THING
BUT IT SURE MADE DON FEEL GOOD.
WITH THAT HE DECIDED TO SING
JUST LIKE A LOONATIC SHOULD.
"TAKE THIS, TAKE THAT!
YOU SWINE, YOU JERK!
I HATE YOU AND I HATE YOUR GAY CLASS!
I HATE YOUR FACE AND I HATE YOUR RANK ASS!"
MEANWHILE, BACK AT SCHOOL
THE DISCUSSION KEPT ON GOING
(AROUND AND AROUND, IN CIRCLES AT BEST)
THE BULLSHIT WASN'T SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF SLOWING
COME ON, MAN, JUST LET ME REST.
THE MORAL TO THIS STORY
(DON'T LET IT PASS YOU BY)
DO NOT TAKE MUIR 40
FOR YOU WILL SURELY DIE.
