that’s what i say,

my strange lab partner

holds the cough in,

like it’s a sin,

because every day i

say, that he must

be sick, and trust

me when i say,

he must hold it

in all day, it

must be held, it

must be saved specifically

for chemistry class, prolifically

so that it rings

out, with a loud

and hardy crack sound,

it doesn’t help, that

i, turn suspicious eyes

on him, with surprise

and teasing written on

my face, but in

the end, i grin,

‘cause i was messin’.

I wrote this piece with a bit of humor so that I could make a poem out of the inside joke that me and my chemistry lab partner had.
