Concrete poem

Im a thing with cheese
Just oh so easy to please
I have a friend named french fry
He tells no lies

I'm everyones favorite food
I'll always put you in a good mood
I'm going to be gobbled down
I will  not go to waste

I'm just a buger on a plate
There's nothing to hate

Dear, John and Shannon

Today’s society is quite a crazy bunch. Majority of kids have a curfew, what time do you think is an acceptable time? If I had a longer curfew I could stay out with friends longer and be away from you and not be annoying. I think I also need to be with friends longer so I can be a better rounded person. I need a longer curfew so I can have more time with my friends.

Like anything in the world there is always a risk though. With the extension of my curfew there is the possibility of me getting pulled over or even an accident. Thiers one day in your life though were you have to let me grow up and set me free in the world let me out of the house. We may end up doing dumb things staying out later but you cant look at me and tell me you never did anything dumb.

The best part of me being out of the house more means me away from you! So now you don’t have to share the TV or even get me food. You can sit back and relax or even read your books. Another bonus of me being gone is me and dad won’t be playing Xbox all night so you can hang out with him. So when you yell at him for yelling at the Xbox all the time that worry Shannon, is gone!

Since I’m always at lacrosse and helping around or at little Mrs. Perz’s on the weekends during the day.  If I had a longer curfew I would see my friends longer and know what’s going on with people, also I would not be socially awkward in school. Now when my friends go to late movies I could go, rather then me sitting at home doing absolutely nothing.

The basis is that I need a longer curfew. I would be out of the house more not always inside like you say I am. I would see my friends longer see how their doing and they’ll know what I’m up to too. Everything in the world has pros and cons. So think about what choice you’re making is it the right one to say no?

Sincerely,

Andrew Madsen
