A Dream Deteriorating

I was so sad To be denied from the school for me All my hard work hadn't paid off I felt smaller than a pea I lived life a bit gloomy Did not make the most of my day Wasted precious minutes Sleeping my life away I dreamt of a magic turtle Who came to me to say "What are you doing? Get up and try again!" I woke in a frenzy But I knew exactly what to do I grabbed a pen and paper And wrote away all noon As soon as I finished I was so proud of my work I put it in an envelope And gave it to my postal clerk A couple of weeks later No longer feeling gloomy I got a curious call From a certain University "We'd like to offer you admission" Oh joy the words I wanted to hear! My dream is coming alive My sad days no longer near! And so that day I'll always remember And my dream comes true this September!
