FCAT Rhyme

Doggerel's a term of some disdain
unlike haiku, sonnet, or cinquain,
attempted humor or by accident,
poems containing limited literary content.
A doggerel concerning this week's FCATs
might point to the good possibility that that's
one problem with today's lack of education
but tomorrow's end will see much jubilation.

Today and tomorrow, Florida students complete FCAT tests. An enormous amount of time and energy is spent preparing for a test that might be better spent on actual teaching.
