Mrs. Ray, My English teacher, though I beg and so beseech her
Woeful words will never reach her. What do I even try to fight her for?
Instead, while wasting my time fighting, I should probably be writing,
Not upon my pencil biting, kicking at my books upon the floor
I’ve wrote all that I feel I want to now I’m staring blankly at the floor
Quoth the Ray then “Write some more”
I hate this stupid AP paper, Mrs. Ray, you can’t escape her
Not with any wild caper. Quietly, we all call her “Dark Lord”
So now I’m home while dinner’s cooking, in my English book I’m looking
On cigarettes this stuff is hooking me because it’s such a stressful chore
This work is nothing but a painful chore
I’ll sign up for AP, Nevermore.
With AIM my job I’m shirking when I know I should be working,
In my mind the thought is lurking, My English stuff is strewn about the floor
As the clock strikes midnight hour, my brain’s running low on power
I still need to take a shower, why I signed up for AP I’m not sure
Procrastinating sucks, of this I’m Sure.
It’s all I do, and nothing more.
Of all my academic courses, this one has us work like horses
She gets her jollies as she forces us to do the work that’s such a bore
I’ll botch my essay, just to spite her. Besides, the other kids are brighter,
Screw this crap, I am no writer; My AP test will never reach a four:
I don’t know what I’m even in here for
That’s all I have to say, and nothing more.

As I stated previously; in my contest description I said I would most likely not feel parodys. But, I feel you have set yourself apart from others with this one.
The comedy is well written - I laughed out loud for real (LOL for realz) at points, and the idea was extremely creative.
Well done! Not much to say about this
Good work.

First you hated the assignment,then procrastinatd. Then you blamed her and took it personally. And then, you started to bargain and told yourself you would "botch it up" because you just don't measure up. I am sure in the end you did just fine.
I see this all the time in my profession. I get so much satisfaction from kids just like you. You are talented and thoughtful, and yes, sometimes you don't loke to work as hard as you should. But, when you develop something great out of nothing it is gratifying for not only the student but the teacher as well. Remember, teachers, the good ones are always going to be hard on you. They want you to be the best you can be. Good Ap teachers are really hard to find. They work long hours and are always thinking about their students. Appreciate it. Good job!
