Ahh, More 8th Grade Memories

Here is a poem my friend and I wrote in 8th grade.
We were...bored.









Ode to Schwa


O Schwa, what art thou?


A letter of the alphabet,


A tiny little actorlet,


Or just one word: wow.



Hair that's brown with a touch of sun,


Aha! We've only just begun.


A glint of ocean in your eyes,


We see greatness despite your size.



An average sevie, you are not


Amazing skills, you have a lot;


Working a spotlight twice your size


You sing one good "Why Me" reprise.



The pack on thy back is gray, white, and black


And you don't really mind a hug attack.


Your brilliance proves you are well educated,


And you definitely aren’t overrated…



You are ever so good at drama-


More intense than a domestic llama.


And since we don’t speak Ralik or Illyrian,


We will now slip into Old Shakespearean…



Shall I compare thee to a triangular hypotenuse? Nay!


For such thing beith the longest of its kind, whereas thee beith the shortest.


And shall I end with ‘Farewell?’ Nay! For to end in such a way is ridiculous,


But to end with discombobulation is to ponder upon.


Being said, I end with two words:


Adieu, and UNCOINCIDENTIALLY!



Exit stage right and don’t forget to breathe,



~Unknown & Anonymous,


With some help from Unidentified, Nameless and Faceless.



P.S-


Though to pester and tease thee is thrilling,


To leave thee alone we are willing.


Forgive us that we’ve caused such humiliation,


Please don’t give this letter a misinterpretation.

The end. :)
