"A Wish for Perseverance"

The days of sophomore are beginning to wrap up.

Has two-three improved or jerked to a full stop?

Don't tell me you guys have surrendered...

C'mon! Move! Rise up like an early bird!

No one wants to be left behind, right?

So don't give up--get on with it and fight!

Radicals and sigmas may be hunting you down,

But that doesn't mean you lose and frown!

It's just a few days more--we can all endure!

By grinding today, tomorrow you'll be sure!

Just a little more, and we'll all be free

From this, and we can be happy and glee!

So behave now. Is that such a hard task?

Arrange the chairs, clean up, and make it fast!

Those electronics of yours, turn it off

Before they get mad and stop being soft.

Easy now, don't give me that glare.

You'll have your own time soon to be fair.

Control yourself from becoming a wild bear

Or else you'll make everyone stare.
