I was writing a paper and citing a source.
The washer was loaded and the dryer was on,
In hopes that the laundry soon would be gone.
With no worry that mom was working ahead.
My spouse was relaxing, watching ESPN
For it wasn’t that late, just a quarter to ten.
I raced from the computer to see what was the matter.
Away to the kitchen I ran like a flash,
Tore open the oven before the cookies were ash!
Now back to the computer to continue.
Attending class in my jammies, how could I dare?
Well, in virtual school there is no one to care.
I perused through ejournals, it really is slick.
More than ten thousand hits so quickly they came,
From so many sources, no titles the same.
What font? What size? Choose a color, what tint?
To the top of the document, APA what a ball!.
Add pagination! Spell check! Double space all!
Don’t surf the web, you’ll be up with the sun.
Sit back, watch the PowerPoint and then take the quiz,
Take a stretch, check the clock, getting late gee whiz!
We all asynchronously do our best.
Now onto discussion board, there is a new thread.
My east coast classmates are awake I dread!
Proper punctuation, good words, thesaurus will do.
Their remarks are thorough, some amusing, some trite.
I will review and respond, always polite.
Assignment is finished, save, submit please!
Turn off the laptop and close it tight,
Merry studies to all, and to all a good night!

Brilliant! A typical night in the life of a distance education student.
This was a great spirit lifter. I laughed and cried as it showed the reality of virtual school. She did a wonderful job.
Thats really great!
