See I really need to get published
I know that might sound selfish
But you see it's a grade I need for English
To set me apart from anyone else, distinguish!

My teacher gave me this assignment with the due date.
And as usual, knowing me I like to procrastinate.
I'll get a zero for a test grade,
If I turn this in a couple seconds late
The assignment is due tomorrow, less than a day
So I'm asking you to listen to what I have to say

I've tried to get published earlier but was rejected
But this poem here I think I've perfected
I know I'm not much of a poet and this is true!
So this is my last try, I have nothing left to do!
