A Semester from Hell

Alisha Blanchette

It was a semester from hell
Social services calling my cell
My car doesn’t work,
I’ll borrow mom’s for a while
Great my roommate lost his job
And my paper’s due, how
Will I make rent?
There are two strange boys
Sleeping on my couch, but
I don’t have time to deal
With them. Shit, my mom’s
car died, another paper due.
What! He lost his job again.
Get Out! I scream. Now
I need a loan, wait my
Identity was what….
Stolen! Oh I’ll call my dad
My cell phone’s dead, how about
An e-mail. The blue screen of what
….oh. DEATH.
