A Poem by Andrew Hall (who turns his AP Lang angst into poetry)
Audience Favorite at CSF’s Spooky Open Mic on the Green
Four students, all alike in dignity
In Ms. Zachik’s class where we lay our scene
4 friends, all with grammar ability
Where daily points have all remained unclean
From forth Andrew, Kyle, Evan get 4s all the time
A pair of star-crossed graders get their 5s
Ms. Zachik and Jake, they see eye to eye
And Adventures of Jake, seem like archives
The fearful grade book, where these points are marked
And the continuance of answers rage
Andrew, Kyle, and Evan sit in the dark
As Ms. Zachik slowly writes on the page
What she may write, patience is what survives
Look on Mybackpack, ’twas a 4 of 5

Thou know’st I favor Shakespeare parody.
And cherish wit that jests at what we know
Yet here, alas, a monstrous tragedy!
Thou hast not kept the pentametric flow
thou know’st I relish Shakespeare parody
and wicked wit that jests at what we know
and yet, alas, misfortuned tragedy
that thou hast clogged the pentametric flow
