Fellow poets dearest friends kindly lend your ears to this small tale of woe! My day began with toast and jam and a nightmare on my mind: An essay I must write this day due in quicksmart at five! I searched for words and scratched my head coffee on the go but those ideas they wouldn't flow I couldn't write a word you see, so then I tried a trial print to gain a small reprieve But no! Oh no! My printer would not go! I stared in horror - that darn machine - and nearly went to scream! I jiggled plugs I cursed and cussed and got down on my knees But no! Oh no! That printer would not go! I wrote and wrote as five loomed close and then I ran so fast I passed the bus I ran so quick I must have kicked up dust! I made it to the printing place they said 'Why yes, we'll help' I said 'Oh thank you thankyou God' and a smile lit up my face And yes! Oh yes! That printer sure did go! A happy end? A lovely print? To stop me going round the bend? No jiggling plugs no need to curse and cuss? The problem is dear poet friends: MY ESSAY REALLY SUCKS! |

Dearly Severn a tale of woe indeed! Your teacher must be mad, ready to spank you like the feisty girl you were! With skill so eloquent none will surpass (anyway!) you are likely to get a quicksmart A! I'm outta here, this is my last reply to one of your poems. The essay thing sounds terrible, but I've been there. Had to write it, etc. Or worse, the computer deleted the entire essay (what a pain!). Till later, and (keep in touch!)

It was fun to read a poem so nice And so yes severn I feel your sorrow Let me give you a quick piece of advice Always do your essay quick on the morrow Disaster strikes when it is least needed A wise one does english essays one day before I hope that my words are carefully heeded Or else you'll have many troubles more! (PS - see you at university on Monday!) |
