The Perfect Essay

Writing a terrific essay

Was, at first, hard

When I picked up a pencil

It was like a huge shard

Piercing my hand

Bringing terrible pain

But now I love to write them

And I'm not insane

You broke down the essay

Into bits and pieces

Starting with the intro

And then with the thesis

Then came the body

With the details and thought

And to end with the conclusion

With lots of 'train of thought'

I thank you for teaching me

The 'perfect essay' form

And I hope to bring to you

An essay much higher than a four
