The Essay

While I pondered weak and drearyFor this essay I had no theory.With the deadline creeping nearAll my thoughts were turned to fear.I know, I will write a story,Full of romance, fame, and glory.How will I complete this task?Maybe a story about the Mask!No, no that would be idiotic,And not even that exotic.Maybe something with romantic bliss,Ending with a passionate kiss."Oh, no!" I said, "That might be too racy.""How about an adventure with Dick Tracy?""At last," I shouted with gleeAnd began to prance merrily.How 'bout a story of a humble manWho defeats an evil clan.In China there lived a humble manOf a Shaolin Kung Fu clan.His enemies spanned far and wide,All seeking to have his beautiful bride.He was a true blue, loyal Boy Scout,No camping ground could keep him out.He knew a type of martial artWhen fights broke out, he did his part.His enemies were equally good fightersAs well as having no fear of spiders.He thought of how he could beat them,For he did not want to cheat them.I will d efeat them with my wits.They are so dumb they'll have fits.So when the two foes boldly metThe humble man did not even fretFor a college man was he, you see.He did not even have to plea.No mortal man he could not defeat,If he thought quickly on his feet."Without college!" he explained,"I might have been beat, even maimed."The moral of the story is as suchWithout college you'll lose touch.So, go to college if you can,Then you'll end up a triumphant man.
