Michael holding his breath. (cropped)

No Breathing In Class, also known as Strict, is a poem by Michael Rosen. It's from his book "The Hypnotiser".

Plot

Michael explains how he survived in a school that didn't allow kids to breathe. He explains how the weak ones just used to keel over and die and "at the beginning of the week there were 48 kids and at the end there were 5 kids left and used to step on the dead bodies just to get out."

So, the other kids used to snatch breaths under the desk lid. But those who slammed the desk lid by mistake used to go to school prison and there they would be strung up from the wallbars for long periods of time. So the strategy was to not slam the desk lids so that they could survive.

Use in YouTube Poops

No Breathing in Class is possibly one of the most popular of Michael Rosen's poems (by both YTPers and non-YTPers alike), as it seems to be one of the most quoted.

It goes without saying that his teacher is a psychopath, which possibly could have inspired Michael (his YTP counterpart... Don't sue me) to do all his heinous acts against people in YouTube Poops.

A famous word in the poem is snatch which in the YTP context means vagina.

If you have seen enough poops you will no doubt know every word of this poem by memory without actually watching the original video itself.
