Biology Reading
December 14, 2022
I look at the textbook
With tired eyes at midnight
And this is what I see:
This boring chapter about vertebrates
Assigned to me
I learn about silly looking fish
Tetrapods and Amniotes too
And this is what I know:
That if I don't finish reading,
My grade will have to go
I look at the pages once more
With eyes no longer tired
I see the end of the tunnel
Being a bit more inspired
Then I better hurry
To get the grade I long desired!

This piece was written one night while I was doing my Biology homework. This is a parody of the famous "I look at the world" by Langston Hughes and readers might notice similar rhythmic patterns and rhyming schemes. I wrote this to encourage myself to study despite the difficult reading material. I believe this would relate to many students who are also struggling in their classes and might see this as inspiration too.
