Sir Philip's student

lyrics and stanzas can sway all minds

some wish and choose to be blind 

but poetry teaches and delights

the way Philip Sidney thought it might

he apologized like a captured foreigner 

it is best he stuff those sorrows in a corner 

because poetry can help us relate

to an outcast, alien or inmate 

some think it's a waste of time 

but I know I'll make the climb 

show people what I can do with rhyme 

put myself in it and make it mine
