2nd Period Ode

Second Period Ode Michael, Jaydin, Jin, Ashley, Andre, Ametriyus, J’Maine, Amari, Beijae, Morgan, Dr. Corbin and Mrs. Tobey O, backpack with your books and pencils and things, You weigh a ton, but you are my wings. You carry my stuff wherever I go But sometimes I wish That you could stay home. You are the hump on my back, Like a camel in the desert. In reality you are my treasure. You carry my dreams to the ocean of knowledge. You’re my path to success, My key to college. You used to be shiny and new but now you are heavy and dirty too. With duct tape and staples to keep you together You are full of promises and hope And I’ll keep you forever.
