The Knight's Vow

i started this year, thinking of turning over a new leaf
but up to now, my promises remain to be seen

i am still distracted by small things
i still burn the midnight oil
i like to think of my teachers as mean
but i must admit i caused the inner turmoil

i hate working between break and wushu
i feel that the hour is for me to let loose
and the result of that
when i reach home my mind goes"splat"

which effectively means i cant do much
because after i check the SMB and such
its time to moan
i have to work till such a time where I'm alone(yes, even on msn)

and thus i think,(this time I'm for real)
its a case or kill or be killed (as in homework)
because if i don't work hard for the last few weeks
I'm seriously going to dread the future parent-teacher meet

a few tests have already flown past,
a few deciding ones are yet to come
these few will decide my fate
these few will decide if i last

the march holidays without being bombarded with self-homework
plus 3 day a week training
plus friends keep "jioing" me to go out
when my courage to do that will not be worth a single ounce(of gold, i mean)

for i will have to face The Parent,
male or female it may be
and i am so scared of this,
because it depends on my grades you see

and thus i am trembling in fear
on failing my class tests (yes, my maths has De-proved)
and the result i hate so much(msg) is looming very near
so much that when i sleep i dream of the word "SOON"

hence i am writing this down
in weak hope that i will abide
by these rules that will make me frown
but i to help me i will always remember The Parent's Might

1. Thou shalt not turn on msn, except when thou needs urgent help
2. Thou shall resist the temptation of the poison ivys "facebook", "mousehunt" and "game" in the name of courage
3. Thou will score an msg of below two or face The Parent's Might
4. Thou shalt follow these rules to the best of his ability or face another beast called "humiliation and embarrassment" for thou has stated this in front of basically the whole world.

And although this sounds ironic, i am tired. i think I shall make my way to the cosy comforts of my bed now. Good night fellow knights and good luck on your quest for a excellent msg
