Most Improved

Really meant, "You still stink...

But, less so."  My only award

I have some talent, I think

But in something obscure

Can't run fast, am not strongest

Am not the very best speller

Don't write stories the longest

Can't do addition so stellar

"You're a good friend," says dad

"And," says mom, "you have sense."

"Then," I ask, "why am I so sad?"

"Why," I ask, "am I so tense?"

They bow their heads and shrug

"It's your plight, my love, to not fit

Now, please, let us give you a hug

Don't you worry, one little bit."
