1) Breaking the mold

Everyone has a unique sense of style 

For Hercules, this is especially so

He wears fur at least each day

The other students may stare, but it’s okay

 

2) Homework

With the day being done, doing homework assignments has begun

Hercules having a pile to get through

He finishes one, but then it becomes two

By the end of the night, it’s defeated and out of sight

 

3) Goals

People have goals and ambitions

Hercules is no different

Chasing a dream for an entire year

At the end of it all, he’s going to cheer 

 

4) Catching up with old Friends 

In the halls, on his way to class

Hercules bumps into a friend from the past

They talk for a second, have a good time

Before they have to go on the drop of a dime

 

5) Organizing

Mess after mess strewn about

Hercules’ locker needs to be cleaned out 

He brings in a hose to do the job

He’ll need that as well as a mop

 

6) Thinking outside the box 

Most students just tend to give up

But Hercules thinks outside the box

Finding a way to do what he needs

He blows the teachers away with his grades

 

7) Doing what is asked

Obtaining something is hard, usually

Especially when it isn’t someone’s specialty

Hercules solves the problem quickly

If only all of high school came so easily

 

8) Voice of Reason

Two students duking it out in the hall

Everyone gathers to watch the fall

Hercules steps in and breaks it up

Those people had ran out of luck

 

9) Rumors

Stories come and go each day

Unfortunately, some rumors stay

Hercules now looking like a bully

Hera made him look so silly

 

10) Grit

A school year, always long and drawn out

Papers get lost as well as thoughts, too

Hercules will do everything he can to round them up

And when Hera comes along, there’s no bump

 

11) Don’t be afraid to ask for help

Straight A’s so far out of reach

One more test, that’s all he needs

Hercules can’t do it all

Atlas came and took the lead

 

12) Getting out of your comfort zone 

High school allows for expression and discovery

This includes joining clubs, no matter how scary

Hercules had a chance to meet Cerberus, a member’s dog

Which he showed the principal, who nervously laughed it off
