Hola, Ms. Bradley [Part 1 of my High School Trilogy]
An original poem by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.
INTRO
Here's a poem I've written about,
A future Floyds Knobs favorite son.
A young man who dreams of getting out,
Beyond the range of 88.1...
CHORUS
Hola, Ms. Bradley.
I need you, so badly.
To round up a lot,
Give it all that you've got.
Lest my education end sadly.
Please, help me, Ms. Bradley.
VERSE 1
So hard I have trained,
For the valedictorian speech.
My gray matter has been strained,
By the romance language that you teach.
VERSE 2
You know I have the cunning,
To excel at Yale or Princeton.
So help me stay in the running,
For ranking slot number one.
CHORUS
Please help me, Ms. Bradley,
I need an A badly.
So round up a lot,
Give it all that you've got.
Lest my time in prep school end sadly.
Please, help me, Ms. Bradley.
BRIDGE
To be #1 would determine whether,
My horizons are blessed with fair weather.
So I'm here on my knees before Heather.
But there's a better way to implore her:
Like they do south of the border.
Where the word for Heather is Brezo.
I know this because Google says so.
But, unfortunately, I don't have the time,
To translate into Spanish using rhyme.
But a Haiku I can write, without a sweat,
To sway a lovely short haired brunette:
Harvard has Hoosiers,
But the Ivy League still needs
Students from Floyds Knobs.
VERSE 3
Come on teach, what do you say?
Don't fret over what I may know.
A little help with my GPA,
And my future is gonna be bueno.
VERSE 4
Don't worry about justice or prudence,
As you increase my chance to star.
When the band, without it's senior students,
Plays "Pomp and Circumstance" by Elgar.
VERSE 5
On Youtube's servers I will store,
A recording of my "V" address.
Within will be: "Ms Bradley, por favor!"
Cornell's admissions team will be impressed.
CHORUS
Please help me, Ms. Bradley,
I need an A badly.
So round up a lot,
Give it all that you've got.
Sorry to put you on the spot.
Lest my time as a Highlander end sadly.
Please, help me, Ms. Bradley.
The End.
