"Showing my parents my report card"

So one day I heard we are getting our report cards in the mail.
I hope I did good and that I didn't fail.
If I actually did then my future wont be bright.
My parents like to make sure that my grades are alright.

One week passes by and I check the mail everyday.
Apparently seneiors get it late and I'm thinking there's no way.
I have no clue when my report card will come.
Sitting in my living room I wait and I hum.

Finally my report card has come at last.
I'm the first to reach it and open it up fast.
I didn't do so good on my midterm tests.
I call my friends and learn that neither did the rest.

So then I had to decide when to show my mother and father.
If it was up to me I wouldn't even bother
But they like to see how I am doing in school.
So I show them right away and let them scream at me like a mule.

It probably was the right thing to do.
Even though I hate getting lectured from the two.
I feel a little better knowing I didn't do wrong.
Let's see if I do the same when the next comes along.

"Midterms Galore"

The next few weeks are going to be a drag.
Listening to my mother and father nag.
About studying for midterms coming up soon.
They want me to pass, so I don't look like a buffoon.

Day and night they have me studying hard.
I can't fall asleep because they are always on guard.
They make sure I stare at the paper all day long.
They never leave so they're never gone.

It's been about a week so i picked up this book.
The only time i stop is when i help my mom cook.
Or when my dad goes to the bathroom.
I try to close my eyes but he comes back too soon.

Finally the last week before midterms is here.
I think about how many tests are so near.
That after i can finally shut my eyes and rest.
But only if i get grades among the best.
