I’m Practicing Telepathy
From the book When the Teacher Isn't Looking
I’m practicing telepathy.
I’m learning ESP.
I’m getting mental images
like pictures on TV.
I thought I’d pick your brain a bit.
I thought I’d read your mind,
to get the answers to this test,
but now I’m in a bind.
I probed your thoughts and consciousness,
and now I guarantee,
we both are gonna flunk
because you’re copying from me.
