This is bloody fanstastic! A great truth you have in here.

Superb and powerful write.

Judging Comment:

This piece is so short and concise and so accurately portrays the emotion of disturbance through really subtle, but jarring descriptions. "Teacher keeps a loaded gun inside her pencil drawer"... When I first read through this, I genuinely thought it would say apple, but no, a gun. And the last line, too. Way to smash everyone's favorite childhood singalong into bits. In a good way, of course. :) The fact that you pulled off this simplicity and clever wordplay while keeping a rhyme scheme astounds me. Great job!

Your poem is excellent , amazing , wonderful , and more = ( ect )

Simply and concise. God bless you.
