Agronomy

by Dark Angel - Pisces

From obnoxious weeds to pretty grasses
Different types of corn to little seeds
This is what I got myself into
That agronomy contest that deals with farm crops and weeds.

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication
To place in the top ten out of the state
And since our team only has three weeks to prepare for it
We're pretty much just relying on fate.

Dr. Watson, our animal science teacher
Really feels confident about us
And from what I've been told he'd really leaning toward me
I'd hate to let him down and cause a fuss.

I'm not real sure why I put myself in this contest
I took animal science to prepare myself to be a veterinarian
Farm crop contest with weeds doesn't really come close to that
But it's senior year and I'm getting into everything that I can.

I'm leaning towards doing track this year
But sports aren't really my thing
They don't get me any closer to my goals that I've set
So I think that thought I'll just fling.

Sorry, I kinda got off the subject
Lets get back to talking about weeds
It's not an exciting topic, I know
I'd rather talk to you about different dog breeds.

So with this whole agronomy deal
If I do good in the contest for the class I'll get an A
I suppose that's one main reason I'm doing it
It'll boost my grade point average so hey!

Just in case you're wondering
No, I didn't take the easy senior route
I've piled myself high with hard honors courses
Seeing that first 4.0 is where I shoot.

I'm giving up sleeping in tomorrow 
Just to go to school on a Saturday
I know that you think I'm crazy
But I don't really have anything else to do in the day.

At least it'll get me a step closer to the top ten
And my friend Kari will be there so it's not just me
Agronomy, weeds, seeds, grasses, and crop plants
It's allergy heaven can't you see?
