I'm going back to art school (Free verse) by TanHand
September is coming
You know what that means
I'm going back to art school
Should I get a haircut
Or should I let my hair grown long
I don't care
Because I'm going back to art school
And they accept me for who I am
Even if I'm asian or handicapped
Or black sans blaccent
Or in a wheelchair with baseball cards in the spokes
At art school we are accepting of all kinds of folks
I can be as trampy
Or hairy as I want to be
I can with gouache paint my face
In colors for you all to see
And nobody will put me down or call me a faggot
At art school you never feel like a maggot
Art school is wonderful
We get to draw things
We get to fuck around and stuff
We get to watch Designing Women on Lifetime
We get to act like that all the time
And still get course credit
Art school art school ART SCHOOL
At art school, art school, art's COOL
I'll go to the harbour and wave in the schooners
Bringing us fresh new turks and koreans
To spruce up the body of students we have
Because at art school, art's cool
I'm going to go to the painting studios
And say "wow these are wonderful!! good work!"
Regardless of what Wilde said about such behaviour
I'm going to go to design studios
And say "wow I'd totally buy this! Too cool!"
Even to people designing products for the disabled
I'm going to go to the sculpture studios
And say "I like your use of mass!"
I'm going to go to architecture studios
And say "I'd love to live or work in that space!!"
I'm going to go to the ceramics studios
And say "wow, I'd love to eat my cereal out of that!!"
I'm going to go to the textiles studios
And say "wow, I'd love that as a wall hanging-it's that wonderful!!"
I'm going to go to the glass studios
And say "wow, I'd love to smoke out of that!!"
I'm going to go to the landscape architecture studios
And say "wow, I'd love to take my lunch break under them trees!"
I'm going to go to the furniture studios
And say "wow, I'd totally buy and sit on that!"
I'm going to go to the jewelery studios
And say "wow, if I got my significant other that, s/he'd be delighted!!"
I'm going to go to the film studios
And say "wow, that film was amazing!! Play it again!!"
Okay bored now, fuck this
THE END
