I joined the debating club at school
Our first debate was about Globalization and Third World Debt
When it was my turn to debate I began pantomiming my ideas
It didn’t go over well with the chair of the debate
She told me to start talking or leave the debate
I pantomimed loading and aiming a slingshot at her
She said I was spoiling the whole debate for everybody
I pantomimed a good cry
She got really flustered
And finally she got up and left
I turned to my fellow debaters and bowed
And then I pulled myself out of the room on an invisible rope
Next morning in first class I got called down to the office
I didn’t go
They called me again during second period
I didn’t go
I knew eventually they’d come to get me
I was ready with my electric chair pantomime
