The kid you "wish" for
Pales in comparison to
The kid on the couch.
How can one capture
In five hundred measly words
Such amazing kids?
Cookie cutter kids
with boring applications.
MY kid is DIFFERENT.
Admissions Office,
see my kid for what he is --
promise me you will.
Flagship public U
Offers full ride, laptop, perks...
We love our safety.
Got them to this point
without major incidents.
School, handle with care.
How to get a 12?
Criteria make no sense.
Those stinking essays.
All those other kids
with all those ECs must have
padded resumes.
Grades, test scores sky-high?
Those kids all must have cheated!
Except mine, of course.
Thread after thread reads,
"Chance me, and I'll chance you back."
CC mating calls?
This class or that class --
What looks best to colleges?
Joy of learning, what?
The kitchen's a mess;
the laundry calls. Yet I sit
writing these haikus....
Yes, I should stop, but --
given the alternative --
no surprise I don't.
Why'd you post this thread?
I must get to work cleaning.
rt, I need help!
