Summary: Ever wonder about the song Dawn's math class sang in "Once More, With Feeling"?
Author's Notes: Pointless fic written after I bought myself the "Once More, With Feeling" CD.
Dawn sat in her math class, feeling bored and antsy. It seemed like there was something better going on outside the school.
She had mostly tuned out the teacher, who tended to have a mindless droning voice. Suddenly, though, the lighting in the class changed. Electrical problems? Dawn wondered. But suddenly her teacher jumped up on the desk and began to sing [to whatever tune you want, I was to lazy to come up with one myself]:
"Oh I know you people think this class is a bore
Gregory, don't think I can't hear you snore
And Miss Summers, I see you staring into space
I understand that you all think this class is a waste
But…
You have to learn your square roots
And your exponents too
And variables
Whether it's x or w.
And two-variable equations
Would be a snap
If you didn't think that "math"
Is synonymous with "nap".
You never listen to my lectures
That's why you fail the tests
And if you're having trouble
I'll take tutoring requests.
But if you don't do your homework
And attention you don't pay
It's you that will be sorry
Come graduation day!
Now I'm giving you some homework,
Page three hundred and two
Numbers one to fifteen
Pass it in when it's due.
And if you don't complete it
One-hundred percent
Then you parents will regret
How their tax money's spent!!!
Oh yeah…."
Dawn suddenly felt the urge to solve some two-sided equations.

Like I said, pointless drabble. Review if you want. This was mostly published because the idea was flying around in my brain and I needed to get rid of it. I know it was sorta lame. Thanks for reading anyway.
