STORY OF A ROTTEN CHERRY


It all started on a bright summer day,
Classes in summer; All day you hear bright "Hey"s
Everyone glad to be back there.
March marches past you, Two weeks;
Assignments to make sure that
the vacation's gonna reek!

But Yet,
You make merry
Dawn to Dusk; 11:30 to 3:00....
Or maybe its dawn to dawn!!
Oh these kids are tech savvy
Assignments lay undone,
As you ship consignments in Age of Empires III;
Trees chopped down in Warcraft III
Cheeks weary from 3kg worth of chips...

April's gone;
Your eyes flicker towards those papers,
You convince yourself,
It can be done later.

The year begins,
With all smiling from ear to ear.
Ah! But the teachers are stern
And thats how you learn,
That Xth ain't gonna be all that easy.

Evening comes,
You get home to all the good in the world.
Your eyes flicker towards those papers
You are not too convinced,
-You see that the movie is on-
It can be done later.

May moves merrily.
Grand plans for the excursion,
Doesn't quite turn out that way.
You get home after two days
Your eyes flicker towards those papers.
-You remember that you had to post the pics on orkut-
The papers are forgotten....

May turns to June,
The first of the fateful exams come,
They go,
Your books on the table;Jumbled
And those papers beneath them;Crumpled.

As June rolls forward,
Your teacher starts askin you,
Your mind wanders back to those papers.
-"Hey its games period!"-
Yet again they are forgotten.

Nine months have passed since you got those papers,
A fine year comes to a close,
Your teachers never asked for it,
So you conveniently forgot it.

Its December,
Exam fever is everywhere.
This beaver of a project is gnawing somewhere in your mind,
You say to yourself,
-Hey! I gotta study.-

January is here,
All exams galore
Tears and Whimpers everywhere.

Now you are at home;
Studying intently,
The phone rings,
-"Is your dad home? This is from the school"-
Failing to make the link,
You think of any broken rules.

But then,
Your Dad asks;
-"Have you done all your assignments?"-
OHHHH!! GOOOODDDD!!!
You scream.
Down fall all the dreams.
Ten months you waste;
Now you make haste.
Fumbling with the crumpled papers
Grumbling while surfing Wiki,
Your hands ache with 25pages worth
Of humble information.

And now its a bleak winter day
Study leave in January;
Back to school
All you hear is silence.
Everyone asks why I was there,
As I march past them,
Nine months made sure my Science model would reek....

But Now I Know:
Make hurry when you should make hurry,
The outcome's sweet as Blueberry.
Make merry when you should hurry?
The outcome's a Rotten Cherry.
