A Day At School
3-6-9 format created by Emile J. Pinet. The scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla believed that the numbers 3-6-9 held great significance, and in deference to him, the 3-6-9 was invented. An eighteen line rhyming verse with the following rhyme scheme: (aba - cdcefe - ghgijiklk,) with a syllable count of 333, 66666, 999999999. It looks best centered.
School bell rang
Pledge was said
Children sang.
Reading first on the bill
With groups according to
Proficiency and skill;
Arithmetic quickly
Followed before lunch time--
A subject most prickly.
Post lunch came lessons in history
Geography quickly followed it
Along with science, a mystery.
When we were sleepiest, teacher read
A story to hold our interest
We tried to keep from nodding our heads.
Last came music and creative art
End of the school day slowly approached,
We readied ourselves, glad to depart.
