The Mother Goose Escapades
No. 37
Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men:
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
and he marched then down again.
And when they were up, they were up.
And when they were down, they were down.
And when they were only halfway up,
they were neither up nor down.
"Oh, what's the point?" Kagome snapped, throwing her pencil down. "No matter how many times I do this stupid problem, it's never going to work!" She seriously contemplated quitting school and just spending all her time in the feudal area.
--
"Oh, what's the point?" Inuyasha snapped. "No matter how many times I fight my stupid brother, I never seem to be able to beat him!" He seriously contemplated just living in Kagome's time.
--
"Oh, what's the point?" Kagura snapped. "No matter how many times I fight against stupid Naraku, he still holds my heart!" She seriously contemplated throwing chance to the wind and flying away.
--
"Oh, what's the point?" Myoga snapped. "No matter how many times I try to warn stupid Inuyasha, he simply never listens to me!" He seriously contemplated never trying to give Inuyasha valuable information again.
--
"I try and I try and I try," Naraku muttered, "and it seems I never get anywhere. But I won't quit, I will indeed succeed with my goal." He seriously contemplated several ideas that would help him gain the shards of the Shikon jewel. He certainly wasn't one who marched for nothing.
Author's Notes: Er, I don't really know how to explain this one. I saw Hookwinked the other day, if you've seen it, can you imagine Naraku setting a mission statement? Maybe that's what I was thinking about. Anyway, I think what I was going for was to show doing repetitve things seems meaningless...or something...lol.
