A song sung often before has started again
The whining refrain beginning in one voice
Plaintive, nasal, grating on the ears
And there will soon be other voices added
Striving for unison
But being just far enough off for dissonance they will claim not to hear
I have laid down the baton
But still the singing sounds out
Comes the call
Can I have extra credit?
And the response
You had the chance throughout the course.
Maybe I can redo an assignment
I scored low on?
That option is not available at this time.
But I need this class to graduate.
The response follows John Cage and Alphonse Allais.
How can it be otherwise?
Anything else but adds to a painful cacophony
And there is enough such noise in the world already.
