rites of pass·age


When I pass age of barely twelve,
Into the confirmation rite I delve.

When I pass age of bold eighteen,
I write the SAT-essay for deans.

When I pass age of twenty-two,
I earn the right (with praise) to grad school zoo.

When I pass age of twenty-six,
I aim to be the wright of my own tricks.

  1. When I pass the age of twelve
    Through church confirmation rites I delve

    Before I pass age eighteen
    At the SAT-essay write I'm seen

    When I pass age twenty-two
    I earn the right to a grad school zoo

    When I pass age twenty-six
    I am the wright of my own tricks




    (terrible writer here, but I can edit/polish. Or at least I like to think so :P)

  2. I actually had the "At the SAT-essay write I'm seen" or something like it before I edited it, but it didn't make any sense to me, but I wrote the essay for the admissions dean of the college, and that made sense.

  3. 'I write the SAT-essay for deans' is definitely better. Nice word play.
