The awesomely creative and yet utterly terrifying world of middle school poetry

Student has selected "danger" as a poem topic and is working on symbolism, i.e. "dangerous like a sharp knife." Justin goes over to check on list of "dangerous" analogies.

Student's List:
1. Hockey
2. Poisonous bees
3. Viking robots.

Justin: "Viking robots?"
Student: "Yes, they're like regular robots, but they come and sack your city, like Vikings."
Justin: "I see."
Student (earnestly): "They're very dangerous."

Now I'm going to have nightmares about a giant mechanical version of Stinger from the Columbus Blue Jackets laying waste to swathes of Fukuoka while wearing a double-horned helmet. Thanks a lot, student.
