I'm not in the habit of posting twenty past nine,
Doubtful anyone's even checking this blog of mine.
But if you are one of the faithful and true,
Here is the one thing you still have to do:
Read chapter nine (it's just ten pages long),
If you think there's no questions, you would be wrong.
You've got a new handout, so complete the next set.
You're feeling done, but we've got a ways to go yet.
Last day of school as of tomorrow is two weeks away
Or a meager 10 days if you'd rather say it that way!
So good night, Elevens, I'll see you all anon,
I'm off to dream land, been stifling a yawn.

School Leaving Ceremony
Read up to page one hundred and fifty one
and your writing assignment that you begun.

She posted her blog with no signs of diffidence
"New words? Why learn them? What is their use?!
I'll never say a sentence where I include the word obtuse."
But why learn anything except that perhaps it makes us better.
It's not just for showing up friends and looking like a 'go-getter'.
Ralph has thoughts but "lack of words to express them"*
And failure to communicate well gives internal mayhem.
And if we are being honest, we all want our dream job,
So it might earn us points if we come dressed-up like slobs.
New words provide context which informs our reading,
And makes others want to follow if we feel like leading.
I can give more reasons why new words are our friends,
But whether you take my advice or not utterly depends
on your ability to trust my wisdom that comes with age.
Now I'm not saying I'm some guru or wizened old sage,
I just want to make sure we are all on the same page!
So speaking of page, let's get to tonight's final task,
Read chapter 7 & answer the questions, too much to ask?
* page 81

Happy Birthday Mr. T!
Wow, my first blog post for the month of June,
It's time for all of us to cut out of here soon!
But first things first, we got HW to complete:
Read all of chapter six & do the question sheet.
I would write more but I don't feel quite fecund,
In fact, this 'sestet' took way longer than a second.
