A Poem!

Here's a little poem (poema!) I wrote in language class today. As everyone knows, the Moore family is pretty amazing at rhyming. The rest of my class was taking a test about a book they just read. I had to do something to keep myself awake. Enjoy!

In the Life of an Exchange Student

By: Christy Moore

Ohh I'm sitting in class with nothing to do

besides to write a poem for you.

I am in Chile

and I think it's quite silly

that all I can do

is be as a child without a clue.

I'm sixteen years old!

I protest

Still sadly I must confess

that I have but an inkling of what I have just been told.

I know it, I know it,

that I am no poet

but what more can I do

than write to you?

All of my friends are trying their best,

to take a nearly impossible test.

The teacher asked me if I too wanted to try

but I soon let out a terrible cry.

Of course I had not read that four hundred paged book!

And so, I simply gave her a look.

Making sure to be prudent,

I said to her

"I'm just a little exchange student!"

She let me be

and so here I am

B.o.R.E.d.

but happy as a clam

I hope you enjoyed

and weren't too annoyed.

Thank you for being so very kind

but now I think I may have lost my mind.

I have no more rhymes

plus it's finally time

to leave this seat

and get something to eat!
