To Write a Poem For Class

In my class one day, 
I had to write, more work, no pay,
all I wanted to do was play,
but eight sentences were due today.

So I sat down at my surface pro 3,
to write, but nothing came to me.
In the end I had to admit 
that I might be bad at this, just a little bit.

So I was at the computer, my hands on the keys,
but pretty soon I was on my knees,
praying for an idea,
pretty please.

But not even the cherry on top gave me,
that sweet, lyrical key,
to regaining my lost dignity. 

Why couldn’t I think,
of a good idea
Hey wait, that rhymes,
with Ikea. 

Finally I had a wonderful idea, 
about Bob’s great journey, 
to Ikea. 

But alas, it proved to be a flop,
nothing quite rhymed, 
with a guy named Bob. 

The day was really almost over, 
my deadline about to roll me over.
I was up all night ‘till I had a thought, 
the material I need I already got!

A firsthand account, 
of the horror, 
that goes on for, 
an academic learner. 

So I sat at my desk,
and broke the fourth wall, 
and wrote my story. 
I was having a ball! 

And so I uploaded this poem, 
onto the internet,
for some sucker to use, 
on his next project.
