Rondeau Poem Contest Entry

Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

by Ogden


Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

You had better listen, or feel my wrath!
Teacher, look at my face, and do the math.
Don't you presume to tell me what to do!
All have learned their lessons, except for you!
How dare you suggest that I take a bath!!!

To ignore my words would be a gaff;
Who creates discord, must be daft.
So should you not comply, I pity you!
You had better listen, or feel my wrath!

I may look small, and maybe tempt a laugh,
but those who transgress will regret they sassed.
You should take this as a warning to you,
selling me short is a mistake you'll rue.
Lots have belittled, and a few have chaffed.
You had better listen, or feel my wrath!
