TEAMwork

"Work together, now.

There is no I in TEAM!

Don't hog the ball, there, pass it on.

Remember, no I in TEAM.

This isn't about you, it's about us.

No I in TEAM.

Come on, if we win this, we'll be the top school in the district! You gotta cooperate!

There's no I in TEAM!!"

No, there isn't...

...but what about ME?

I wrote this for English Accel. 10 (EN11E), meant to show some irony in life. Since my definition of irony was and still is rather weak, I dredged up this lame little topic that I'd been thinking for ages, and lo and behold, my teacher wrote: "Cute. Enter in contest," referring to a published booklet our school did. And since I haven't posted anything on here for a long time, I decided to post this. It's actually pretty crappy by most literary standards, I think, but nowadays, people can pull meaning out of anything.
