Little Ms. Watson, why do
Little Ms. Watson, why do those kids mess with you?
Is it your mismatched socks? Your dirty shoes?
Maybe it is because your jokes aren't that great
Either way, they spew nothing positive
Only hate
The only other reason that they speak
Is before a test
In an attempt to cheat
You will make an A from what I can tell
Maybe they will be nice
If you don't cover your answers very well
Ms. Watson, Are you ready for your final exam?
You have studied long enough
You know better not to cram
This is it, the very last test
Try to focus
Although you have had little rest
From the corner of your eye
Is that girl trying to peek?
She motions towards you
It is your answers she seeks
You have grown to be dedicated
Learned to master your quirks
You know to never trade fake kindness
In return for YOUR work
You take a glance at her from over your shoulder
She taps her fingers and awaits
Your glance turns colder
Grab your test and find a new seat
Her mouth opens
Your answer is concrete
Dr. Watson! Dr. Watson!
Could you give some advice?
For those in school, the skills to be acquired
Important traits that would suffice
You smile and pause
Open your mouth and proclaim
Be true to yourself
For only that will grant you fame
