Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

G Rammer

Used to be the question mark

On top of a full stop

Until needed inverted commas

To require an explanation mark

To highlight an apostrophe

So as to prove

A firm grip on grammar

All present and correct every
punctuation point, apostrophe, 
inverted comma, explanation mark, 
full stop and question mark

A+
Gold star
Teacher's pet
Front of class

2nd period maths

So bring out your times table 

+ , × , ÷, -

D-
Must try harder
Teacher's worst nightmare
Back of class

Why am i not good at everything

I am not like other's allowed
to posess limitations

I have pushy parents and
mummy and daddy 
sure as hell won't be happy 
or best pleased

And worst of all if not already
feeling bad enough i have to 
be the one to tell them

Trying one's best that results in
failure is simply not good enough
or a viable excuse

As in family terms

D stands for disappointment

C , contempt
B , borderline

A+ , acceptable

But only if it's nothing less than

99 out of a 100
