Brief Scribbles

High School Poetry

Note: I wrote these in high school after tests/instead of taking notes or paying attention. They are not good.

Physics

Learning physics is quite hard

Just like eating lots of lard

One day Nathan called it quits

And now in the corner there he sits.

Games on the calc were fun no more

Day after day his mind was sore

Learning, learning, all the day

All this stress caused him to say,

“Stop! This is tough

On my mind it’s way too rough!”

Old teach just sat there

Thinking “Who would dare?

Interrupt my lecture in my class?”

Then the boy sang Mama Cass!

Too much! Too much! To comprehend

“To the corner I must send!”
Yelled teach at the top of his lungs

The noise ceased chatter, stopped were tongues

Nathan sat there, scared and timid

Physics no longer felt insipid.

The decision made, a verdict reached

Nathan pleaded – he beseeched! 

However, teacher told him no

Your punishment – that you know!
Over to the corner, with the stool

Nathan ran, thinking “I hate school!”

Homework

Forever and ever – perpetually lasting

Homework is a thing I’ll always be lambasting.

Too many problems, too many essays

I no longer have a life these days.

Once I was a young lad

And I knew nothing sad.

Always happy, always joyful,

My happiness cried out like a gull.

All that ended when homework came along

I no longer sang a happy song.

Homework, it destroyed my soul

And all it left was a big, black hole.

I no longer have any fun;

My time of joy – it’s now done.

Homework – how I hate thee

It makes me want to say, “Gee

How dumb you are

I’ll run you over with a car!”

Homework is a terrible thing

I’m no longer happy – I do not sing

My joyous tales of days long past

Homework – it will always last.

Tests

A test! A test! A test you say?
Oh I might, I hope, I may;

Maybe I will do my best

Better than all the rest!

Physics is hard, Chem the same

As long as I don’t play the Algebra game,

I’ll do well, I’ll do fine

The best grade – an A – is mine!

I have worked my tail off

Just like Tarkin, the Grand Moff.

I’ll take my test and do great

If I study at this rate.

I must work, I must achieve

Or else from this school I will leave!

I have materials, ready to start

I got these pencils at K-Mart.

So here I go, ready to begin

As House of Pain says – Pack it in!

All the material is there in my head

My head is not full of lead!

I will not fail, I cannot fail

Through this test I will sail!

Chem

Chemistry is quite fun

The textbook, though, weighs a ton!

Learning, hearing, every day

It just makes me want to say

“Boy, this is great!

The noble gases are Group Eight!”

Say, what do you see?

Is Abbas teaching chemistry?

Awesome! That is good!
We will learn much, yes we should!
Once we learn, we apply

However, this makes me sigh

For I am tired and frustrated

Once I finish, I am elated

The overhead projector shows me a lot

And teaches me the knowledge that I have sought

There’s a quiz, a review sheet

Now we all get new seats

A full day in chemistry

I am ready, can’t you see?
To leave, until tomorrow

Until then I am filled with sorrow

One reason only, don’t you see?
It’s because I love chemistry!

Poetry for Mathematics

While sitting in his desk today

Nathan threw his life away

While learning trigonometry

He sat there saying – “Don’t ya see?”

This stuff’s boring, dumb as crap!
So I am going to take a nap!
The teacher called out with hand and ruler

Just like Stein in Ferris Bueller

“Wake Up, wake up!” students said

They couldn’t see that Nate was dead

His brain shut down as he slept

At math he was no adept

Because of boredom while in math

He had faced the teacher’s wrath

The teacher hit him – hard and loud

Oh man – a terrible sound!

No one could see that he had passed

The teacher was the one to touch him last

“Awake!” yelled teacher – to no avail

And here at the end of this tale

The grave called out, “Come, come!”
For Nathan died of boredom!
