The deal
I thought
I’ll show them
I as failed
every class
my last semester
save the two
I actually needed
to graduate.
In them
I got C’s.
Ms. Fogel
took me aside
one day
And told me
I would fail her class
If I continued
on my
present course.
I told her
that it didn’t
matter.
She said
you won’t graduate.
I said I didn’t
need her class to graduate.
She took me aside
the next day
and told me
she had spoken
with my guidance
counselor.
I remember thinking
to myself
I don’t talk to that
fat fuck
unless I
absolutely
have to.
I can’t believe
you went
and did so
voluntarily.
She said,
you’re right.
You don’t need
my class
to graduate.
I’ll make you a deal.
Sit in the back
of the room.
Don’t disturb
the other students.
Don’t
do any homework.
Don’t
take quizzes or tests.
Just
don’t
make a scene.
You
don’t
bother me
and I
won’t
bother you.
It was a deal
I made in
many classes
that last semester.
I graduated
in the bottom
fifth
of my
class.
And I
have never
looked back.

Your my idol. I actually studied my last semester in college. Class needed or not. Little good it did me over the years.
I salute thee.
I failed Geometry, but didn’t need it. I did need the credits though, so I had to take one class in summer school.
I chose some B.S. art class. I am the only member of the class of ’88 and 1/2

…wow, i’m lookin’ over my shoulder at my past, wondering how in hell you coulda followed me through highschool…
woulda been a better poem if ms. fogel had been smokin’ hot & demanded sexual favors for her cooperation.
in high school I skipped so much school they wouldn’t let me graduate until I made up some of the time. I spent 3 days after school ended in the library shelving books…
What do you call someone who graduates last in their class at med school?
