Yesterday I Graduated, Today I Gotta Do What!?

A Poem Thought About and Wrote in Ten Minutes About the Day of and After Graduating

Here goes my hat, up in the air.
they said not to throw it, but i don't care.

Today I graduate, tomorrow I'm free.
I'm gonna vacation Please don't bother me.

I'm gonna gonna have a great job, when I get back.
I think i'll buy a beemer, escalade, and cadillac.

I'm gonna buy a mansion and get several estates,
And buy the top floor condo to take all my dates.

I"ll retire in five years, and play the rest of my life,
then I"ll settle down with my money, my riches and my wife.

I went to bed In my parents house, ready for my life.
No more school for me, no more late night strife.

The home work is over, and I"ll sleep in.
The alarm is out the window, no more paper and pen.

As I sleep a deep slumber, money fills my head.
My future is a give in, after I get outta this bed.

What's that awful racket?! It's not noon yet.
It sounds like a lawnmower, and Dad's got a bet.

As he hangs in my window, smiling very loud.
Mumbling how i graduated, and how he's very proud.

He says he has a yard, and the mower is running.
But he's not cutting grass, and I'm not too cunning.

The sky's already bright, and the air's already hot.
Yesterday I graduated, Today I Gotta Do What!?
