Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines

he wrote a poem

And he called it "Chops"

because that was the name of his dog

And that's what it was all about

And his teacher gave him an A

and a gold star

And his mother hung it on the kitchen door

and read it to his aunts

That was the year Father Tracy

took all the kids to the zoo

And he let them sing on the bus

And his little sister was born

with tiny toenails and no hair

And his father and mother kissed alot

And the girl around the corner sent him a

Valentine signed with a row of X's

and he had to ask his father what the X's meant

And his father always tucked him in bed at night

And was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines

he wrote a poem

and he called it "Autumn"

because that was the name of the season

And that's what it was all about

And his teacher gave him an A

and asked him to write more clearly

And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door

because of its new paint

And the kids told him

that Father Tracy smoked cigars

And left butts on the pew

And sometimes they would burn holes

That was the year his sister got glasses

with thick lenses and black frames

And the girl around the corner laughed

when he asked her to go see Santa Claus

And the kids told him why

his father and mother kissed alot

And his father never tucked him in bed at night

And his father got mad

when he cried for him to do it

Once from a paper torn from his notebook

he wrote a poem

And he called it "Innocence: A Question"

because that was the question about his girl

And that's what it was all about

And his professor gave him an A

and a strange steady look

And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door

because he never showed her

That was the year that Father Tracy died

And he forgot how the end

of the Apostle's Creed went

And he caught his sister

making out on the back porch

And his father and mother never kissed

or even talked

And the girl around the corner

worn too much makeup

That made him coughed when he kissed her

but he kissed her anyway

because that was the thing to do

And at 3AM he tucked himself into bed

his father snoring soundly

That's why on the back of a brown paper bag

he tried another poem

And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"

Because that's what it was really all about

And he gave himself an A

and a slash on each damned wrist

And he hung it on the bathroom door

because this time he didnt think

he could reach the kitchen

So while the 3/4 of the cohort are celebrating the end of A's, the rest of us poor souls still have literature paper. Ugh.
Was reading this particular book as I was having lunch cause I've read all the others that I have a few times already.
I HAVE to buy more books!
Dug out my Horrible History books that I love when I was younger.
Great, my sentences are not flowing smoothly and there's literature paper tomorrow.
I think Pip is an ass, Othello is freaking blind, Lear is out of his mind and Stephen Dedalus is weird.
So all in all, I doubt I will re-read my texts again after tomorrow.
I only like Another Place, because the poems are nice when I understand them.
A dragonfly flew into my bathroom yesterday, wth.
I have been checking yahoo finance these few days and the exhange rates right now, US$1=S$1.529. UGHHHHH, cant buy my custom LEGO guns! ):

Oh guess what? Im actually happy. :D
Counting down...
