list to last the week
highest group gets me the gold
held accountable

all papers graded
impossible standards met
you can’t challenge me

i will surpass you
snarky remarks tucked within
so you can’t see me

’cause i’m a winner
downtrodden made me stronger
in the end, you’ll see

Shakespeare’s sonnets sing
across these four centuries
hear them sing along

alas, their voices
really bring us together
let us listen. Well.
