My Mistake

I left school early for my break,

And gladly missed two days of class;

But I soon realized my mistake,

And now my grades will never pass.

 

If only I had stayed in town,

As every faithful student ought;

I’d have no cause to fret and frown,

I’d know exactly what’d been taught.

 

But no, instead I went my way,

And thought to have a load of fun.

I now regret that fateful day,

‘Cause now my fleeting joy is done.

 

Please listen to my saddened voice,

And take a warning from my choice.
