8 Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Wow! A president of the United States was going to talk to us! Double wow! Everybody clapped. A guy with white hair came out of the gym and went over to the microphone. I whispered to Ryan, "How did your mom get President Clinton to come to our graduation?" "I guess she went to Rent-a-President," he said. Everybody finished clapping, and President Clinton started to speak. I didn't catch every word he said, but it went something like this:

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah this is so boring blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah is he

Man, that guy sure can talk! President Clinton went on for about a million hundred hours. Everybody clapped really loud at the end because we were so glad he

was finished.* I figured we were going to get our diplomas and eat cake next, but we didn't. Mrs. Dole got back up onstage and stood next to President Clinton. "And now, ladies and gentlemen," she said, "I would like to introduce another surprise guest. Please direct your attention over your heads…." We all looked up. I didn't see anything at first. But then I saw it. There was a helicopter hovering up there! It was coming down right over us! I held on to my cap so it wouldn't blow away. The helicopter landed at the other end of the playground. It was cool! Nothing happened for a few minutes.

Then this weird purple smoke started pouring out from under the stage. The sounds of drums pounded out of the speakers. Laser beams shot all over the place. Suddenly two guys jumped out of the helicopter, ran up onstage, and started dancing around. They were wearing football jerseys and baseball caps. Then another guy hopped out of the

helicopter and ran up onstage. He had on a baseball cap too, and he was wearing this big purple cape with sequins all over it. It was Mr. Hynde, our old music teacher!
