Cry Me a River

written by: JustWaiting

"Cry me a river,

Build me a bridge,

And

Get

Over

It!"

She would tell us that

Whenever we whined

About a test or a quiz

"B

M

W!"

She would say

When we complained

About the Three's having no lessons

Now I know,

That it's time to take those

To heart

And use them

Otherwise

I'll never move on

I know that if I stop singing

A

Ae

Ae

Am

A

I'll forget

I know if I stop hula dancing

Tu

Tui

Tibi

Te

Te

She'll fade away

And that would be worse

Than committing Hubris

Like Tantalus

Or Niobe

They were both related

And in our homework

That we never got to check

That I actually finished

For once

I never got to take

My test

Or my quiz

Which I had actually studied for

But, this is the real quiz

The real test

To see if I can remember

That worry beads must match your clothes

That you must always smile

And you have to cry a river

Before you build the bridge

But you always have to

Get Over It.
