If Only I Had Studied Harder Poem by Michael Pruchnicki
If Only I Had Studied Harder
That's what I thought in those final moments-
If only I had studied harder and learned
by heart the declensions of Latin
If only my parents had acquired wealth
enough to send me to university
If only my grandparents had left
the old country in time
If only my impetuous nature
had been restrained
Perhaps this dismal death
might have been avoided
But then I never would have
become Achilles!
