Hit The Books Poems | Examples

I am reminded of his legacy,
    Through the media events.
        Where he opened doors
            In a professional sport,
                among many malcontents.

While learning about his struggles,
    I became certainly more impressed.
        As he surpassed in my mind,
            Images of Bo and Deion . . .
                He was truly blessed.

I don't know of any other, that
    Could skillfully perform in so many ways.
        While a collegian, with Football, Basketball,
            Baseball and Track & Field . . . 
                I mean Jesus, there's only so many days!

As an athlete, receiving the 
    Accolades, while garnering the
        Endless, admiring looks.
            He must have mastered the
                Space-Time continuum, if he
                     Was ever to hit the books.

This is why #42, has moved up
    The list, as the GOAT to number one.
        Since he was responsible for so much
            More, than his ability to outrun.

Back to school
Not gonna mess around, act like a fool
Can't hit rewind 
Can't turn back time
So. Lets go

Start the first day on the right foot
Stop talking about XBOX and hit the books
There's no way I'm gonna fail
Man, that F turns me pail
Aiming for that A
Might not be there now,
but gonna get it the next day 

Detention
When was that mentioned?
Can I do my work there?
I aint falling behind this year

Mock week!
Time to prove that I've
been revising like a freak
Hit that pen with paper
Not a second later
There's no maybe or might
Worked for that A day and night

Results day!
Wonder what that
envelop is gonna say

AABA
Main course down
Time for desert 
If I see an F, thats gonna hurt

ICT and RE
The only grades I see
is those A's I deserve

History and Geography
Wonder what it's gonna be
AB or BA
LOOK! AA

Now I'm fully charged
and ready to go

Whats Product Design gonna show?
A*
Looks like I've jumped over the bar
Forget the sky being the limit
I'm on the moon
Now I can tackle the world with a BOOM!

For those who worked for it

Revision revision revision 
There is no decision

When it comes to exams you
need to stop. learn and revise
because it is the only way to become
number ONE!

The journey may not be fun
But in 10 years time you'll be 
in a penthouse with your hun

So stop, wait a minute
hit the books get your head in it
Turn your phone off, close the door
That way you can't get distracted anymore

Listen to my voice
You don't have a choice
Follow this path and you 
wont be the needed but
you will provide

You can save the World tomorrow
But revise tonight

For all the tests on our life

I did something that most kids consider hard.
I got all straight A’s on my report card.
I hit the books and go to class without fear.
Let me tell you, there is no smarter kid around here.

I know my grammar like anyone should.
I have this friend.  He don’t talk too good.
He did not do nothing at all in school.
Now he has to repeat the year.  That ain’t too cool.

There is one subject that makes my mind tick.
Most people have trouble with it, it’s arithmetic.
Some of my classmates can’t even add and subtract.
I know that six and six are thirteen, that’s a fact.

I am the best student that goes to my school.
Fall, winter, and spring, I am the one to rule.
Take it from me, there is nobody higher.
I beat up another kid because he called me a liar.

If teachers were students,
They would certainly be prudent.
 
When they would get a teacher free class,
They would certainly be seriously studious.
 
None to dictate and lecture the class,
Would let them hit the books obviating usual fuss.
 
If their freedom limit is even infinite,
Classroom is “Pin drop silence”, that’s definite!
 
Even when Half Yearly is finished,
Their wish for studying wouldn’t be diminished.
 
Trousers from the waist, head with oil base,
Big spectacles covering the whole face;
 
Would they miss a single instruction?
Even a single note because of the Annual Function!
 
If they committed a mistake, though once in a blue moon;
Even imagining doing it again would make them swoon.
 
But if we go deep down these perfect souls,
Down their memory lane, there must be some hole.
 
Now let’s come back to the tangible world,
Where the real students are completely unfurled;
 
Let’s hope the above conditions be true
Otherwise how can we show what we can do?
 
Wishes are wishes, “sky is sunny blue”
Could you suggest how to put it through?
