**After reading my poem 'Simon Says, ' a few readers have requested that I extend it in length, so this poem is the second version that I am comparing to the original to see which is more successful. (You might want to read 'Simon Says' first to understand this better.) **
Simon says sing a song
Simon says stop
...
Turning 12 is no party in the house
Turning 13 will be a sure louse
Turning 14 will be alot to handle
Turning 15 is no flame of the candle-
...
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But hurtful words
And evil deeds
...
Oxymoron, reverse pyscology
Upside down, backwards
Back to front, inside out
Irony, homographs
...
Is it perserverance
That makes us strive and achieve success?
Is it guilt
...
***This poem is the lyrics to a really terrible-sounding song I wrote, I thought the words were half-decent so I decided to publish it here on Poemhunter...***
Walkin' down the street, come to school today
All rain, no shine, all work, no play
...
Wake up, put a frown on my face
'Cause I'm gonna take the trip down to that evil 'school' place
We're gonna work and never be done
...
If God really is looking down from above,
If He really does sprinkle the earth with His love,
Have I really done such a sin, such a crime,
That I must serve the punishment for all time?
