"Jump Rope or School?"

"Jump Rope or School?"

 

Every year in the month of February

Our high school chooses a day for jump rope for heart

This day is dedicated for those with heart problems

And grades compete for the most money on the chart

 

Seniors and juniors jump periods one, two and three

Sophomores and freshman jump during periods seven and eight

I had already missed two days of my classes

Due to the academy presentations that could not wait

 

I didn’t want to fall behind on my work

But I did want to jump on that date

Do I miss classes again and risk my grade?

Or do I stay and settle this debate?

 

I decided to stay and play it safe

And this choice made was such a good thing

Because now I am caught up on my work

Only good grades is what this will bring
