From Rhyme To Shine

In elementary days, I struggled with my tests,
Failing or just passing, never performing at my best.
The night before exams, I’d read over and over again,
Hoping that the knowledge would somehow stay within my brain.
One day, while I was studying, a thought began to bloom,
Reading paragraph by paragraph, alone studying in my room.
I turned each bit of info into rhymes that flowed,
A poetic song of knowledge, in my mind it glowed.
With every line I crafted, the facts began to stick,
A melody of learning, my memory’s new trick.
The next day in the classroom, my answers came with ease,
A hundred percent, an A, my mind was now at peace.
From that day forward, with rhymes as my guide,
I mastered every subject, with confidence and pride.
History, Geography, and Science too,
Every subject, every issue, I would always pass through.
Rhyme became the glue that made my knowledge grow,
A poetic path to learning, a secret only I would know.
But now I wish to share this secret I have found,
With those who struggle learning, where challenges abound.
Rhyme can be a tool to enhance your study game,
It’s tough at first but with practice, over and over again,
A rhyming savant you will soon be with every task you claim.
But be careful when using rhyme as a study tool constantly,
Your rhymes can spill into everyday conversation eventually.
That’s when you start getting weird looks from everybody,
A quirky side effect, but it makes life a bit more funny.
