A break for me




Why are all these people happy? No one I know would be remotely this happy while doing homework and studying. Especially the first two with their piles of books. Clip art is so unrealistic.

Taking a break so that hopefully I will be able to focus after this.

Here is a fun and nonserious poem that I have decided to write. It is titled Books.

some books are great
they stimulate
you to create
a world awaits

but texts, BORING
i want to fling
my ears do ring
with text book things

can't concentrate
but tests await
i want to sing
do anything
but read this crap.


PS, you may not realize it, but this poem has perfect meter and rhyme scheme except for two deliberate exceptions--the change in the meter in the line that ends with BORING, and the last line which adds an extra line that does not rhyme with anything. I did this on purpose--Shakespeare and other great poets did stuff like that on purpose too; obviously this poem ranks with those. Add it to your Greatest Classics collection.

OK, back to the books. I don't know or care if i did a bio fact for the day. I don't think i did. Whatevs.

Goodnight to everyone that doesn't have to stay up. Wish me luck on my exams in the next week :).
