Senior Skip Day in the nation’s high schools is long held
tradition
Near graduation day seniors en masse skip school with not an
ounce of contrition
To gather in groups and party to the near end of high school
celebrated
Usually aided by booze and drugs until they are sated
Biggest danger to them is that too many above the legal
limit then drive at the end
As parents, not knowing the date, can only hope they join
the Uber or Lyft trend
But in Greenbelt, Maryland near Washington, D.C. in a Hanover
Parkway
Hundreds of seniors were celebrating Senior Skip Day
When another teen pulled out a gun to the seniors’ dismay
And shot 5 seniors, one in critical condition not yet slayed
Authorities have no suspects or motives for such heinous
foul play
Only that the unknown shooter successfully ran away
Police needing to ID the shooter can only hope and pray
That enough cell phone cameras were on to ID a suspect and
make that person pay
