Best Educationday Poems
I'm trying to write but my mind goes blank
I tried appeasing the people but i got no thanks
So instead of working I turned to robbing banks
I am not a bad guy so incase of confrontation my gun had blanks
I didnt want no body's mom or dad to die
But the Judge at the court decided i should fry
Living in a room barely big enough for a bed
Everyone around me waiting for the day they get dead
I'm trying to stay strong but this place messes with my head
Three meals a day the only sustenace is bread
I need an outlet for the world to hear what i said
But my life will end prematurely im gonna be dead
Three meals a day and there people outside who cant eat
I have wronged society yet its the poor ouside getting beat
No wonder that the world exists on hate and decieit
So a message to all you kids dont be packing no heat
Dont need no big humvess just a job to help you eat
iIwish i had more sence would have saved me from the street
She could hardly wait to begin her very first day of school.
(Which is rare indeed for a child, as a general rule!)
She'd watched kids thro' her window as they daily trudged,
To the little school house - this the little towhead begrudged!
The big day arrived and Mother with her little girl in tow,
Held her hand as she skipped along, her pretty face aglow!
One thing troubled her though, much to her chagrin;
Two front teeth were missing, spoiling her winsome grin!
She was dressed in a pretty frock and lace-trimmed pinafore,
And was very proud of the shiny patent-leather shoes she wore!
Her hair was fixed in pigtails, so becoming to the little lass.
No doubt she'd be the prettiest girl in her first-grade class!
She joined the other kids and found, much to her distress,
That most were bawling, hiding behind their mother's dress!
She joined the howling mob when she found to her consternation,
That this was not the first day of school, but only registration!
A few days later she fulfilled her youthful scholastic dream.
She loved the learning game and excelled to the extreme!
Years later she took her own two towheads to school with pride!
Like her, on the very first day of school, neither of them cried!

I attempted to create a mathematical poem...poorly,
and I miscalculated the final total. Maybe one day I'll correct it.
