You dropped your books,
Your car won’t start,
You’re late for school again.
You lost your watch,
Your clothes aren’t dry,
And your lunch is in the den.
You get to math,
Another pop quiz,
Your hair, you’re pulling out.
Your pencil breaks,
Your batteries die.
You release an angry shout.
The teacher takes your test away,
For fear you might be cheating.
You rip your ‘raser
To little chunks,
On the wall your head’s a beating.
The bell goes off,
You’re late for French,
Ms. Beau gives you a glare,
You hunch right down,
Drag out your books,
And cry out for “ma mere”.
English is the next today,
You know you’re good at that.
You forgot the test on Mr. Shakespeare,
You hit the desk with a splat.
You feel this day will never end.
You tuck your head between your knees.
You laugh out loud,
The bell just rang.
You feel as tall as trees.
Packing your bag,
You’re out the door,
Around the bus stop you huddle.
But the bus comes by at a roaring speed.
And splashes you with a puddle.
You drop your books,
You’ve missed your bus,
Thank goodness the day is waning.
But look like Brian,
On the Bright Side of Life.
At least it isn’t raining.

Fantastic poem! My fav part was
Packing your bag,
You’re out the door,
Around the bus stop you huddle.

And splashes you with a puddle.
