The test.

by True Happiness   Jan 18, 2012


So many questions, and a mindless kid with no answers.
He thought he knew them, but he was wrong.
So he sits and stares at his paper.
While trying to cheat off a hidden sheet,
Under his backpack with all the answers.
A secret glance and the answer to 19 appears.
The teachers not looking, quick one more look.
He asks me the answer to number 23.
I have no clue.
The teacher looks at me.
"I don't know anything." And he grins.
All the troubles a little test can bring.

(this poem is dedicatd to my boyfriend who was trying to cheat on a test, i found it quite amusing.)

    Ah, the tests

    I would have found it somehow amusing as well if it was my bf
    but I would have also scolded him or someone else if they asked me for an answer on a test and also for distracting me while taking. lol

    I like the ideas and how you were able to come up with this piece but I think it just needs the ideas to be arrange a little better so that the flow of the poem will sound better.

    So here are my suggestions, I tried my best to not lose the message and to not changed it and this is what I came up with.

    P.S. its optional, if you want to consider them. :)

    So many questions,
    yet he thought he knew them all,
    but to his surprised, he was so wrong.

    when he sat and stared at his paper
    He became a mindless kid
    for he was trying to cheat off a hidden sheet
    located under his backpack.

    A secret glance that's all it took
    for the answer to nineteen
    to popped on the answer sheet
    and when the teacher was not looking
    he said quick, one more look
    then he asked me for twenty three.

    "I have no clue"
    and then the teacher looks.
    " I don't know anything."
    he grinned at me.

    sigh!
