The sun peered in through my window

And warmed my face till I had awaken

I was having such a nice dream though

I looked at the time and thought I'd mistaken

I was running late to class again

I quickly ate some toast and ran out the door

I got to class and realized I forgot my pen

But luckily I found one discarded on the floor

It was hot pink with blue ink

Not exactly my type of pen,

But at least it works, I think

I sat down quickly so class could begin

I hear my buddy snicker next to me

And realized he was laughing at the pen

I told him that this is how it had to be

Because I forgot my pen at home again

He just shrugged and told me

That I should try to be more organized

That I should carry at least two or three

I just waved my hand as to shoo away flies

The teacher began his lecture

And I immediately grew bored

I began to daydream about the future

And the goals I wish to move toward

I wanted to be an explorer

And discover unknown lands

Reach out to every corner

And unbury Earth's treasures with my own hands

"Lyle", the teacher said sharply

I looked at him with a blank stare

"You awake", he said smartly

"Yes sir", I said; pretending to care

Class went by fairly quickly after that

I went home and sat on my couch

I watched a movie called 'The Great White Bat'

It was about an explorer who was funny, but a grouch

As I watched, it got me thinking

Why not start my own exhibition?

Soon summer break would be coming

So I started on a mission

I had to put together a team

I already had a few people in mind

This was a start to following my dream

Who knows what we're going to find
