The AP Lang Experience in Verse

November 6, 2019 by szachik@pvs.org 2 Comments

A Poem by Andrew Hall (who turns his AP Lang angst into poetry)

Audience Favorite at CSF’s Spooky Open Mic on the Green

The literary genius himself.


Four students, all alike in dignity

In Ms. Zachik’s class where we lay our scene

4 friends, all with grammar ability

Where daily points have all remained unclean

From forth Andrew, Kyle, Evan get 4s all the time

A pair of star-crossed graders get their 5s

Ms. Zachik and Jake, they see eye to eye

And Adventures of Jake, seem like archives

The fearful grade book, where these points are marked

And the continuance of answers rage

Andrew, Kyle, and Evan sit in the dark

As Ms. Zachik slowly writes on the page

What she may write, patience is what survives

Look on Mybackpack, ’twas a 4 of 5
