Plaid trucker subs and textbooks

Today was interesting, starting at the very beginning it went something like this.
Eli woke up at 6:30 am even though he didn't need to because his school started at 9 and it didn't take 3 hours to get ready. Anyway Eli stayed in bed for 10 more minutes because he new he was waking up to early and so he slept a little past his alarm. Than it hit him, today was a shower day and he had to go and take one. But wait there was a way out. But if it didn't work he would have to take a shower in shame.
He got out of bed and walked down the stairs in to the kitchen where his mom was waiting for him.
"Why aren't you in the shower?" She asked him.
Sweat trickled down his face and bleed through his shirt as he said "because my butt is clean," he said nervously.
"Lets make sure," she said.

After that Eli got in the car and he and his mom drove to school. She made him walk again today and that bummed Eli out. In the morning he went to Japanese class and that was boring in math he got to get new text books in science they had a trucker sub wearing plaid. In Language Arts he read a poem called caged bird.


The free bird leaps
on the back of the win
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
