Question:GCSE SYLLABUS

Please put Mel Gibson on the syllabus
My daughter would then be a star.
An exemplary pupil with great promise
Whom teachers would think could go far.

She can trot out all facts about him
Without any benefit of text.
Did you know his middle name is Columbcille?
(Well, whatever will parents do next?)

I understand that he's one of ten children
Born in America to Hutton and Anne.
And that he is now in his forties
Which makes him a middle-aged man.

My daughter is just touching sixteen
Her experience of life is not vast
So I'm glad for her sake this attraction
Like all of the others, won't last.

Soon all of his pictures will perish
And her collection of videos disperse
As a new idol soon she will cherish.
Well, I suppose it could've been worse.

For now - please put Mel on the Syllabus
I'm convinced that then she'll do well
She would definitely get an 'A' grade
And at least in SOMETHING excel!

If you ask me, one of the hardest things in poetry is making a rhyme-scheme like this work without it sounding forced, you've managed it here. A lot of people, when they try these kind of poems, end up with words for the sake of meter here and there in pockets but you haven't.

umm...wow? im pretty sure she has forgiven you. but you never know. thats pretty bad/embarassing/assuring that ur daughter will never have friends. sorry. id never forgive you.

i think she has forgivven you its old times

If she has forgiven you you are very lucky and have an exceptional Daughter, However, it is a great poem.

Perhaps you should of Just suck it on her bedroom door, with a "post it" that said:-

"please, feel free to give this to your teacher, if you think it might help your grades".

I think it is very funny and cute!
Of course, I suppose your daughter didn't think so at the time. I predict that some day she will laugh and really think this is a special poem to put in her scrapbook.
BTW, is she over Mel yet? LOL

Your daughter is younger, cleverer, and prettier than you are.
It is natural that you should feel this way.

Idk what some of your peoples problems are if i were her daughter i would have thought it was funny and I would have appreciated the effort. Sometimes when parents do things like this you have to laugh it off because it shows you don't take everything so seriously. I don't know what happened to your daughters social life, but i know a poem like that wouldn't do anything bad to my rep. Everyone knows that everyones parents do something wierd every now and then. This is no exception.

I had to ride the silly bus too....

You're a brave woman. But if my mother ever did that to me....
