Exercise
The word reminds me of math
That I so dreaded
As I left school I always fretted
I will decide to take a bath
And do anything but the allotted
Somehow I always got promoted
Now, looking back, it was a path
I followed that gave me the heart
To choose in my life the right start
Because it is through mistakes you learn
How to correct the reality that is torn
Had I done my exercises on time
I might’ve have been a bigger dime
But what is life without a fall and a climb.
My entry to 
The final line can be replayed and replayed. Nice work!

very nice… I didn’t care for alloted and promoted, but I like my rhymes to be as true as possible… loved the last line, it stands alone

‘Because it is through mistakes you learn
