Carson’s Poetry Corner: 8th

Carson Ball

Curiosity killed the cat. So why be curious?
Because curiosity is what lead the West Jessamine students to be glorious.
Without curiosity, no questions are asked.
Without questions asked, no knowledge is grasped.
Without knowledge grasped, the test scores portray
What students have been doing in school until May.
I guess it’s a good thing that’s not the West Way.

The West Way is students who don’t settle for “good” nor “great.”
The West Way is a dynasty ranked eighth in the state.
Teachers helping teachers; Students helping peers.
All of this hard work has paid off through the years.
Top ten in the state, there’s still room to improve
Watch out for us next year, we’ll be on the move.

Carson’s Poetry Corner: Snaps for Summer

Carson Ball

Summer. The one word running through every student’s head.
No school, sleep a little, see your friends, and back to bed
The nights are longer, warm air with the wind
No worries, nowhere to be, every day is a weekend.
Pool, lake, beach, find me with my toes in the water
People get cooler, the days get hotter
The music is up, the stress level is down
You call that a tan? I call that a brown.
Movies, laughter, and sunlight
Some choose to sleep, some up all night.
The two months of summer always go by oh so fast
So let’s live it up, and let’s make it last.

May Poetry Corner

Carson Ball

With Spring comes excitement in the halls of West
Spring styles include Alex Penman wearing a denim vest
Even Officer Wade is rocking a new blue uniform
While many seniors continue their search for the perfect college dorm

Teachers are frazzled as the year winds down
Clothes are bedazzled, leaving no reason to frown

Josh Blancet is taking charge of the baseball team
He wants to win state, that’s always been his dream

Mr. Yost is teaching the tale of Bin Laden
Grant Wells and Andrew Monell will never be forgotten
Summer is coming, the best time of the year
Hindsight is 20/20, so I’ll be looking in the rear
Intramurals are intense, the finals are here
Hufflepuff or Old School- which team will persevere?
