Elongating their necks to the next desk
Keep out of the hawk's vigilant eyes
The faint humming of letters
Hearkened by sensitive ears

Cheat, Cheat, Cheat
The sly little birds tweet
The ruffling of wings in sync
With the cacophony of pencils

Never for a day have they
Worked laboriously to lift their wings
Instead, taking away from others
What they themselves never did

Cheat, Cheat, Cheat
The desperate birds chirp
They're melancholy visage followed
With their only answer concealed
