I Am...not a poet

Folder: 
School assignments

I am the family's oldest child

I feel so alone sometimes

When I'm at home I can be so wild

Band takes most of my spare time



Marching band is my favorite sport

Everybody thinks I'm so darned smart

I need more sleep-the night seems so short

Only I truly know what I hold in my heart



My hair never stays in one place for very long

I get my pleasure from reading my books

I'm never happier than when listening to a song

I wish people wouldn't judge so much on looks



One of my friends thinks that he's Spider-Man

I spend too much time writing in my diary

I wish I could travel to far foreign lands

Mean-minded gossip, oh how I despise thee!



I don't mind cold, or bugs, or dirt

People think I'm crazy for reading so often

I hate seeing other people get hurt

I love visiting historical places like Boston



My favorite movie is Monty Python and the Holy Grail

My favorite book is probably Harry Potter

We'll walk over those who think marching band is frail

Without the AC, could the band room get any hotter?



My family is Catholic, we go to church every week

My brother and sister are younger than I am

I'm so quiet, people never expect me to speak

In my family, we have a running joke about SPAM



I wish happier things would be in the news

Sometimes my French horn is my only friend

I often get blisters from my marching shoes

And now these random ramblings have come to an end!
