Level Three!

Level Three!

Am muddling through

And struggling too.

It makes me mad

And also sad,

That this is going to take

Several months to do!

I think of apostrophes

While making some tea;

The Maths I hate the most;

And those quotes!

There must be easier ways

To divide up some toast?

Learn how to proof read

And how to succeed!

Become a number one shopper;

The best of floor moppers!

After all said and done

This could be quite fun!

Level three;

For the price tag of 20p!

And ‘goggle’ eyed!

And goodness’ knows

I’ve tried!

(Need a glass of Bordeaux)

To improve my arithmetic

Just a little bit!

But what this got to with it?

Though I hate to admit

That I haven’t a clue

What I’m striving to do!

Start with a capital letter!

Begin to speak a bit better!

Has punctuation changed?

Or been rearranged

Or has it always been the same -

Completely unchanged?

I have started a unit

And don’t want to ruin it;

It’s way past the witching hour

And the P.C.'s now moon lit

So many different ways

To get through the day!

Oh let’s have a gripe!

Prefer to type, than write!

Watch my P’s’ and Q’s’

Don’ts’ and do’s’

That I’ll have to attend to.

And this is déjà vu.

I will learn how to read;

Learn how to proceed;

Learn how to write;

Law and human rights;

Have a second sight;

Be more polite!

Tho’ at the end of it all

I will be a lot older;

Feel a lot bolder!

It is rather dire,

I might have to retire

And give it the cold shoulder...
