An Ode to Points

By Akira Yamada

House points, how I love thee,
let me count the ways:
I love thee that you help my House,
I love thee that you feed a grouse.
I love thee that you helped me pass.
I love thee that you taste like grass.
I love thee that you give me beans,
I love thee that you fix spleens.

There are many ways to say, I care,
Is there any way greater than a dare,
where someone says, just try to beat me!
Points are something everyone can share.

They help you when you're feeling blue
and simply are needing something to do.
If you want to help your House,
complete an assignment or two.

Points are fine things if you know what I mean
Better than anything, they get you a bean.
