There was a little boy named Ft. Worth, living in a place called
Cowverdey. He went to Johnson Valley High School, and had fun.
He spent his days there running from one troubled situation to another.
The teachers (mentors, torturers, ear-boxers, etc.) didn’t like him
for the simple facts that follow: he wore an earring, he asked
honest
questions (honesty is not allowed at JVHS), he tried to do his homework
(instead of jacking around, like everyone else), and he enjoyed having
real friends (
real friends are not allowed at JVHS, either).
One day, in the 20th Century, Ft. Worth was calmly doing his school
play work, and a misfortune befell him. The head
dissector disciplinarian
of the
prison school, Mr. Passageway, sent a decree to all the mentors
in the
mental institution. It read:
“Attention all Troops, er... Teachers:
(This is a decree from Mr. Chad Passageway)
We have had a few empty seats in the Detention
Hall room, lately, since some of you are not
meeting your quotas of animals, er... children
sent to Detention. Please assign more detentions.
Thank me you,
Mr. Passageway”
When all of the Torturers received the written decree,
they danced for joy
they set to work. One Torturer, named Mrs. Humper (or possibly
Rider), had Ft. Worth in one of her classes. She smiled evilly, and opened
her satchel, which was full of seven million D-Hall slips, in small bills.
She pulled out her stamp, marked “Ft. Worth”, and began fanatically
stamping the sheets. She had worked herself into a frenzy, when Ft.
Worth came into the classroom (well, actually, it was a cell block.) She
laughed insanely, showing her yellowed
fangs teeth.
She said, with three truckloads of gravel in her voice, “Ft. Worth, sign
this,” and released another torrent of laughter. Ft. Worth, deciding to
make the best of the situation, began writing poems on the D-Hall slips,
knowing he would have to go to Detention whether or not he signed them.
Mrs. Humper then said (because Ft. Worth was enjoying himself), “Okay,
weenie... Uh... er... Ft. Worth, come sit at the front of the cell, er... class.
Now!”
The moral is that all of the mentors at Johnson Valley High School should
be fired, since they only give Ft. Worth D-Halls for the thrill of it.
Another tale: Once upon a time, while the masses were ignorantly
studying, Ft. Worth pulled an electric guitar out of his pocket, and
began writing a love song to his girlfriend. For no reason, the other
students (who were conforming to the wishes of the rulers) raised
an outcry against this. When the poor, abused Ft. Worth continued
strumming his guitar, the legions of the devil (the other students,
I mean) gathered around him, hurling insults at him. He pleaded for
mercy, complaining that the country was no longer free. One of his
few friends, a young man named Won’t Boil, loudly agreed with him,
saying, “He’s perfectly correct. This country is no longer free. In fact
our society is worse than communism. In fact—”
He was cut off by shouts like “Oh shut up, Weenie,” and “What a
scumsucker” and “Oh, go freak off.” (His comments were frequently
greeted with friendly comebacks like that.)
Ft. Worth looked as if he were about to cry (probably because he
was about to cry.) Sadly, he thrust his guitar into his pocket once
more, and sat at his desk, examining it for secret buttons or levers
which he could push to launch a nuclear strike against the teacher.
She grinned evilly again, as if she liked to grin that way, then she
grinned that way, as if she liked to grin evilly. Then she grinned at
a passing insect, imagining that her tongue was long enough to suck
it in.
An anonymous student in the class, named (just joking!) loudly
made a trumpet of his butt, releasing terrific pressures from his bowels.
Then he made a saxophone of his butt, then a drumset. Finally, he
tired of this, and settled back into his normal routine of jacking around.
Mrs. Humper naturally assumed that it was Ft. Worth, and began
foaming at the mouth as she senilely thought of giving him another
D-Hall.
Consequently, since every day of his life was as such, Ft. Worth quit
school to make a life of his own. (Next Christmas, Mrs. Humper got a
long tongue, so she could eat all the flies she wanted.)
