Day 126: A Third

I can't believe it, but as of a couple of days ago, my year of rhymes is one third finished!

A Third
(A Matter of Perspective)
By Batsheva 4/6/10

A third is a very
Strange sort of thing
It can make you despair
Or make you sing

If you drink a third
Of a little glass
You'll surely be
Thirsty for more
But if you eat a third
Of a twenty-pound bass
You'll be too full to fit
Through the door

If a third of the students
Got A's on the test
Then I'd say the class
Did just fine
But if a third of the class
Found an F was their best
That really is not a good sign

And one third finished
Is not nearly through
It means that you have
Two thirds left to do

But if you have gotten
One third of the way
That's no time to slack
For a third
I will say
Is simply
Too far
To turn back
