“Jason stood up. "I can do this. I know I can. I think I've actually got something."
"That's the spirit," said Troy. "Go ahead."
Jason nodded and began to speak:
"When I'm feeling down and kind of crazy,
I come down here to the cafeteria lady,
Sloppy joes, burgers, fries and spaghetti,
When I have a problem, she make me forget-ee."
Some groans came from the next table.
"What?" Jason asked, blinking blankly. "What's wrong with that poem?"
"Sorry to break the news," said Chad, "but there's no such word as 'forget-ee',”

“Zeke stood up. He held the Tater Tot up to the sunlight streaming in through the cafeteria window. Some kids sitting at tables nearby took notice. They listened in as Zeke began to recite:
"Oh, Tater Tot, oh, Tater Tot, so tiny and round,
What an amazing potato taste in you I have found!
Crispy on the outside, soft and mushy inside -
What kind of mysterious potato do you hide?
Russet, white, Yukon gold or Idaho?
Are you mashed or baked or fried - I really don't know!
Mystery spud so tasty and round,
What an amazing lunchtime treat in you I have found."
Everyone at the table applauded, and Zeke bowed. The kids around him clapped and whooped and laughed.”

“- If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L. means "first Attempt In Learning"

- If you get No as an answer, remember N.O. means "Next Opportunity".

“Honesty," she announced.
Her slightly shaky voice echoed through the dark assembly hall. the single word and the long silence after it made the students in the audience sit up a little straighter in their seats. Then Gabriella began to recite:
"I see you there in front of me-
Your face, your hands, your eyes.
I hear you talk, I hear you tell
Your hopes, your dreams, your lies.
I walked with you, a sunlit trail,
Together hand in hand.
Then twilight came, and you were gone,
And now alone I stand.
The woods are cold, the trees are black,
The dark is closing in.
And you have gone away from me,
Your faultless light has dimmed.
Betrayal is an empty space,
Raw night, cold room, alone.
And no one can redeem your face,
Sweet knight, safe light, you're gone."”
