Extra Credit

I walk into English class and what do I see?

My grade went down to 89.3

All I can imagine is my parents upset

The only thing I can do is sit here and fret.

Until I asked Ms. Whalen what I could do

To make my grade not look so bad and blue.

She said “you can post on my blog,

But it can’t have anything about a frog”.

So I thought up this little rhyme that I hope you liked

I’m wishing that you get really psyched

To give me those few points that I need

In order for my grade, to succeed.

I’m really sorry but I’m out of time

So I need to put an end to this nasty rhyme.

Ms. Whalen, I’d like to thank you

You were a lot more help than I ever knew.
