For Score and Seven Years Ago

For score and seven minutes ago

Our Lady of Victory School put on a show

It was a Living Wax Museum for second grade

So many costumes, bought and homemade

Each student had to complete a book report

And then give a presentation of some sort

Eddie chose Abraham Lincoln as the person he admired

And there I was sewing a beard until I tired

But boy he looked cute

In his hodge podge suit

He held his scroll in which was written

The Emancipation Proclamation

Up to the front of the class he went

He gave good eye contact and talked about the 1 cent

He admired Abe Lincoln because he helped free the slaves

My boy made me proud with the speech that he gave

There were many people to admire and oh what a slew

Mae Jemison, Dr. Seuss, Rosa Parks to name a few

The second graders should be commended

For their oral portion of their grade has ended

So next time you need a president to deliver a speech

Come to Baltimore. There is one within reach.
