Teachers don't always grade you,
When it's almost too difficult to know;
What a clock and new drivers have in common.
You'll hear them loudly as they're starting to grow.
The calendar advances rapidly,
As we near end of this race;
A beautiful nectar so valuable,
With a speedy mate they came in second place.
