Instead of studying like a normal person aiming for almost 600 points I wrote a poem instead and I thought I would share because I weird like that 😛  Please feel free to comment about how awful and weird a poet I am ( I’m considering writing a book of poems and make future leaving cert students study them mwa ha ha 😛 )
I call it searching for inspiration:
I’m searching for inspiration
To study this quotation
‘cause I can’t see what Dick Kings wife
Has to do with my life.
You see, I want to be a vet
To help the worlds pets
But I’ve left it too late
I’ll be lucky with 108
So I’m looking for some inspiration
To study this quotation.
But what could it be,
Is what I’m struggling to see
I don’t think I’d study
Even for any money.
It means nothing to me
So what could it be?
Maybe to stop the hunger and pain
Which is the earth’s bane
But I know in my head
Points don’t equal bread
So why should I try
When others still die
Points are so pointless
It’s all such a mess
There is just no inspiration
To study this quotation
But I don’t want to live with regret
I still want to be a vet
Even though I’ve left it too late
And might only get 108
I’ll keep looking for inspiration
To study this quotation
I guess it’s really procrastination
Looking for this inspiration
But I just don’t see what Dick Kings wife
Has got to do with my life.
Love the poem! Here’s mine – the rhymes are a bit dodgy – what do you think?
We’re giving some free grinds,
we’re doing them live online,
for Leaving Cert (Ordinary) maths,
(tonight is Functions and Graphs)!

You deserve 600 points for individuality and not being a sheep. Great poem. Who the hell was Dick King anyway? Let me know when you’ve graduated from Veterinary College.
This is a childish and unsophisticated poem. You focus on uneducated topics like childishly slandering one of the only poets you know. The only visible poetic techniques you used were rhyme, which many poets don’t even care about. You’ll probably have to repeat so just am . . Study please?
Could you calm down please, its only a bit of banter, no need to kill the vibe
