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.
