Analysis of Had Better The First Time



Okay students.
For most of you students,
This 'oral' test is a give away.
Especially for some of you,
Who brag about scoring...
Through the use of abusing,
The internet.
And this test is as simple as simple gets.
Ready?

I expected this kind of response.
Stop waving your hands.
I'll pick one of you at a time.
You.
The one in the back,
With your hands on your lap.

'I once went on a Rollercoaster.
And I hated in then.
But the more I rode on one,
I realized how much I enjoyed...
My first time going up and down on it!'

'Interesting.
And you,
The one unbottoning your shirt.'

'I don't want to brag about this,
But...
The first time I had,
My opportunity to lick...
Cream off of a banana split?
I couldn't believe how good it was.
Now I'm addicted.
Although I will admit,
That first time was better had.'

'Comeon.
Stop trying with my emotions.
Someone has had that first experience,
To not expect the doing of it...
Will leave it unforgettable.
Even my first time had to have it,
I can never repeat,
The pleasure released from my body.'

'Teach?'
I've got the answer,
Too obvious to ignore.
You are making it impossible,
Not to pass this oral test!'

'Thank God.
Someone in this class is paying attention.
I made the question easy enough.
To give all of you no excuse to graduate.
With a seeing what some of you do,
In public view.
What we did to do many years ago,
Privately.
You know...
Off the streets.
And behind the doors discreetly?
Now...
Relieve me of my tension!
And yours as well.'

'Wow. What?
Uh...huh?'

'I am relieved you have paid attention.
What is that answer.
Give it to me.
Give it up to us all.
And...
Let it go to flow.'

'The first time...I...'

'Opened my mouth...'

'And...
Had the right answer,
To pass your last chemistry test?
I was shocked and amazed,
How great I felt.
But I know I will never recapture,
That feeling to have again.'

'What about sex?'

Teach?
See today is as common to have,
With anyone these days.
Without boring time wasted dramatics.
What do you take us for?
Children?
Most of us had set,
Before we came to class this morning.
And...
Smoked the best of weed.
To enhance our perfirmances.'

'I...uh...
Do you kids' parents know about this?
Yes...you standing.
And no need to show me,
Your 'reefer' stick.'

'Teach?
My parents not only buy me condoms.
But I also sample the weed they mix,
In their 'COME TO GET IT' weed store.
A few blocks away from here!'

'Where on Earth have I been?'

'Here.
Asking us these ridiculous questions.
Tell us what you know,
About life...
On other planets, aliens and U.F.O's!
