A Sonnet to SATS

Hello all,

And especially hello to Emily Oh, who encouraged me to post my sonnet on this blog.  Actually though Emily, this was not the sonnet I had intended to post, but rather one that I wrote this morning.  THis morning...I had to take my SAT...all the reading/writing sections were far too easy for a Torrey student so I ended up sitting there for half the time with nothing to do.  In those empty boring periods...I wrote this sonnet.

Bright morning time, I wake to loud alarm

It's Saturday, to sleep and stay in late

But then I recollect to comfort's harm

The day has come at last which most I hate

My SAT test, dreaded time has come

And i must spend my weekend doing math

And writing essays, filling bubbles-sums

And grammar, reading, charts and words and graphs.

I know if I would go to THI

Foul beast must be attacked with all my strength

And so I take my pencils, heave a sigh

And start the test, undaunted by its length

I watch the clock creep slowly by, till rest

Shall be all mine at end of dreaded test.
