Famous Last Words

I'll get a world record for this.
Let me reach in and get your watch out of the printing press.
Hey, there's no handles inside these car doors!
It's fireproof.
He's probably just hibernating.
What does this button do?
I'm making a citizen's arrest.
So, you're a cannibal...
It's probably just a rash.
Why am I standing on a plastic sheet?
Are you SURE the power if off?
Yeah, I made the deciding vote on the jury, so what of it?
The odds of that happening have to be a million to one!
What duck?
What do you mean, "I'll be back"?
Pull the pin and count to what?
Which wire was I supposed to cut?
I've seen this done on TV.
I'll hold it and you light the fuse.
It can't possibly rain for forty days and nights.
Give me liberty or give me death.
It's strong enough for both of us.
This doesn't taste right.
I can make the light before it changes.
Nice doggie.
I can do that with my eyes closed.
I've done this before.
Well, we've made it this far.
That's odd.

Theory Student's Nightmare

I think that I shall never be
Conductor of a symphony!
A band of players so elite
Would cringe each time I tapped the beat.

In concert black with white baton,
I'd stare out pop-eyed at the throng.
With shaking knees and sweaty palms,
I'd raise my stick & bring it down.

At once the flutes began too shrill -
The violins joined with a will
WAIT! That's a rest! WHY do the play?
I knew that this was not my day.

I peered at my conductor's score.
I flipped a page and then three more...
Compound meters, triple beats,
C-clefs, solos, hordes of keys!

The deafening din of snare drums' rattle
Reminded me of stampeding cattle.
They must be stopped before the crowd
Revolted in an ugly battle!

I yelled at them with all my power
Then woke to my floorleaders glower.
"Did you forget?
It's QUIET HOURS!"

~ A. Nonnymous (a PCC student)

So, I'm not sure at all whether or not I've typed these up on here before or not, BUT, I'm putting them up now because I'm about to throw away the hard copies. Cleaning out my house in order to get ready for Squishie coming in May. That is all.
