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
