THREES

I think that I could
Never see
A grade as pleasant
As a three---
A three that flickers
In my eyes,
It makes me fully realize
That grades are made
By dumbs like me
By making use
Of chances that others
Gave to me!

The threes that trim
My lovely card
Is like a heaven in my heart
For fears at last
From me depart, the fears
Of flunking from the start.
And now I know that
I am safe for
Sometime and good for
Some more dough.
