Hurrying For No Good Reason

The rest of the second graders saw that Millie was done.
At that age being the last to turn a page in is simply no fun.
So, they all scurried and hurried to turn their pages in.
They got plenty of answers wrong too; this was not a win.

Amazingly on target, Caren. No one wants to be last among his/her peers!
