FOUR SHORT WEEKS
An oral project? I already feel lonely.
I wish I had someone to console me.
I am scared, I must confess,
This project will become a mess!
5 Racing thoughts, beating heart
What to do, how to start?
Wringing hands, the hour’s late,
Four short weeks to my due date.
My brother Gus saves the day.
10 “Make a date each week away.”
“Plan to do one thing each week.”
Suddenly it’s not so bleak.
Week One: Choose what I should do.
Take a second, think it through.
15 The books come out, the pages turn.
I find something I’d like to learn!
Week Two: Now to get more done.
Finish what I have begun.
Take more notes, it’s like a game.
20 Which details go? Which remain?
Week Three: I am on a roll!
Now I have a different goal.
Take my notes and write a speech.
Make it fun but try to teach.
25 Week Four: Here’s my final chance
To be ready in advance.
Practice, practice, every day
’Til I know just what to say!
Thanks to Gus there’s time to spare.
30 I even wrote a rhyme to share.
If you plan, you’ll get things done.
And even have some time for fun!

It had been ten minutes already.
Or had it been days?
Weeks? YEARS?
Aaargh!
10 I snuck my fork to the plate, and snagged the smallest bit.
I chewed, I swallowed, then I smiled,
For now there were only three.
The second went down like the first, the third a step behind.
The fourth bite gone, and just like that, I knew that I’d be fine.
15 I scooted back, I stood to leave, and saw my homework sheet . . .
a sheet I hadn’t yet begun.
Four questions.
Four!
