I'm very happy today,
So I'll tell you okay?
I went to school,
Thinking I'm oh-so-cool.
But then I was to be found,
Wearing the wrong uniform.
Cuz I didn't get the relay,
And Slow didn't say.
But I didn't get booked,
Cuz Nellie was the one to boot.
Next I found I didn't bring,
My gym shorts for gym.
And I only had PE shorts,
Matching it was not.
So I ended up wearing,
A maroon leotard, swearing,
That I had to be just like barney,
The others thought it was oh-so-funny.
But Mr Lim came at last,
And punish us, he must.
But it was only his welcome gift,
To bring us all grief.
Told him about lao shi,
He said rang ta qu si.
Which is why I said he's like a father,
As he won't let us suffer,
Well at least not under any other,
Cuz we're his joy and laughter.
And so my lovely day has come to an end,
With my bright future just around the bend.
Oh did I say how everyone thought,
That my hair was exactly what they sought.
Cuz they were playing with my hair,
Most annoyingly without care.
And to make this day better yet,
My dear Slow has just called to beg.
She wanted me to stay back tomorrow,
So I finally assented with sorrow.
I know this poem really sucks,
But I bet you'd have no better luck!
