This is for the people not in "The Group"  Cool   That's right! I care about you too!

 

Seeing as the school year's begun, I thought it would be fitting to write this poem in 15 minutes. (and immediately paste it on a collage I had to make for middle school)

 

                    The Test

Straight-A kids, all-night crammers, did some shoulder rolls,

80 percent think they’ll pass, said the college polls.

One by one, they all sat down, not a word passed through the room.

A crackling voice rang through the air: “It’s our imminent doom!”

 

The teacher stepped in,

Void of chargrin,

“All right, now begin.”

 

Pencil clashed with paper, answers were quite rare,

‘Twas a losing battle, the air thick with despair.

              People on the dean’s list, perfectionists as well,

              To passing they said farewell.

 

Only Johnny knew an answer that gave him campus fame,

The only thing written that day, was little Johnny’s name.

 

The 3rd and 4th rhyme in the 3 paragraph bites, but I couldn't think of anything else.

I don't get it, none of the other kids wrote their names down? I hope you are not writing the poem about yourself being smart, that would be very narcissistic.

I was just wondering, but it is a pretty good poem anyway.

Nice. But the despair part sounds very familiar.
