Put Your Eyes Up Here by Kalli Dakos

I'm so worried About my spelling test, That I'm chewing up My chewed-up nails, And my pencil Looks like it has A bad case of the chicken pox And should be sent Home from school.

Ms. Roys says, "Relax Your uptight muscles, And then you'll do Just fine."

My librarian says, "Calm down. Then you'll Free your thoughts To do their best."

My principal says, "Don't worry Your brains away Like sand in a windstorm, You'll bow the test, If you're such a wreck."

Relax? Calm down? Don't worry?

Now, I'm worried About being worried About my spelling test.
