Work like you don’t need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching. ¦ I like change - but only when everything stays the same.

Our teacher, who art in school,
Hallowed by thy job,
Thy schoolwork come,
Thy homework done, at home
As it is at school.
Give us this day our daily grades,
And forgive us our cheating,
As we forgive those who cheat against us,
And lead us not into copy and pasting,
But deliver us from day-dreaming,
For thine is the school,
The teaching, and the marking,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

Just a parody of the Lord's Prayer. Since there is no "humor" section, I decided to put it here.
