The Girl in 202 by Devon E MattysThe Girl in 202 - Devon E. Mattys
An afternoon abrupt thump-thumping
Echoed in the hall.
I tried to get my homework done,
But I couldnt think at all.
Id expect this from another dorm,
Like maybe from Rovere...
But 24-hour-quiet Shafer??
Id not expect it here!
For those of us who treasure silence
And need our sanity for work,
The offensive words and haunting beats
Do not help--they hurt.
Weve tried all the formalities,
Weve tried to be polite...
We told our PC and security,
And even tried ResLife.
Nothing, though, will work, it seems--
Were stuck with this constant beat!
Phone New Orleans, nix Mardi Gras--
202 is heard from Bourbon Street!
Weve been polite, we really have,
Gone sweetly to her door,
But I swear when next she pumps it up...
Ill get my .44.
Aint no one gonna stop me,
Im pissed off through and through--
I might remove her using violence,
That girl in 202.
Now 202 stands empty...
Theres a stain left on the wall...
I know it wasnt right of me,
But at least... theres silence on the hall.
[OR the more POLITE version, which I gave to my PC, who wanted to post it in the common room but will give to ResLife]:

But I swear when next she pumps it up...
Im bustin down that door!
