Today Was A Good Day


Today marks the day, the day of all days
An hour upon, which all shall remember
As the great AP multiple choice game.
Students quake in fear as I enter the room.
There is less quaking when the other three
Blacken the doorway with their presence.
Alex Kreger, Thomas Donley and John
All trail behind me and form something
Great, we are the Redeem team.
"Holla! stand there!" I shout, we are here to do
One thing, and that is win. Then kill my wife.
But soft! Challengers approach with brute eyes
And stupid nicknames like High Style and Iago.
"He's the most popular boy in class", says
A girl with odd hair and a cool partner.
The teacher quiets everyone with a
Glare that tends on mortal souls.
"Number one is A" she speaks, and all cheer
"No talking until I say who got the points"
After the hush, she assumes "All groups"
A cheer resounds, high-fives and cries of "Toast"
Litter the air with their inanity. "Except"
She smiles a devilish smile and turns
"The dream team" O how her words burn!
"O, blood, blood, blood!" cry I, my rage rising
Thomas just journals, while Alex surmises
 That I have developed a new rhyme scheme
And the end of the act means the end of our team.
We must step ahead if we wish to succeed!
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
Carry on through the dark of an initial
Setback. Point upon point, arme upon arme,
We earn our keep as the team dreams are
Made of. As the final question approaches,
The score remains tied between our good souls
And Greenlaw's stacked team of champions.
Lady Serensky utters some garbage
About something wicked this way comes,
Then announces, bold and proud, the ending,
As it should be loud, "Our winner here,
I must admit, although I find them full of"
"Get on with it!" I shout, "Enough of this
Petty pace". "Fine," she states, "Of course it's you"
"They cheated!" shouts Henry, "Through and through"
We won by being smarter than you
"This only is the witchcraft I have used"
And so my best day has come to an end
Give not this rotten orange to your friend
