Poetically Licensed = 
You've stood on a desk and recited poetry, and it made you think totally outside of the lame conformist agenda that you normally get in school. It was a mind-expanding experience, but afterward you had to carry your inspirational teacher around on your shoulders, and that was exhausting.

==Poems==
The thing you have to do and the poem is random. Here's what I got. — [[User:Cool12309|Cool12309]] ([[User talk:Cool12309|talk]]) 02:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
*''ipso facto''
*''cave quid dicis, quando, et cui '' (space at the end)
*''nolite te bastardes carborundorum''

FWIW, google translate tells me that is:
*automatically
*Be careful what you say, when, and to whom
*Do you bastard Rats
Normally "ipso facto" is translated as "by the fact itself", meaning "as a direct consequence." I'm guessing this whole thing is supposed to reference [[wikipedia:Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori|Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori]] or "[http://www.warpoetry.co.uk/owen1.html Dulce et Decorum est]." --{{User:Club/sig}} 23:22, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

 "Once upon a boring teatime
 While I took much needed "me" time,
 Suddenly there came a wee chime
 of the doorbell at my door."

 "In the Arid Extra-Dry Desert,
 I met a creature, naked, bestial,
 Who held a cup of coffee in his hands, and drank from it.
 "Is it good, friend?" I asked.
 "It is bitter," he said, "but I like it because it is bitter.
 
 "And because it is my coffee."
 "Tight," I said, "now put pants on, please."

 "Lissen mistah ifya wannano
 the ruhllybig
 seeekrit of LIFE MEBBE
 U*
 *(uplifted)
 pro(inverted)llyshud
 drinka helluvalotta
 cof(allatonce)fee"

That tea time one sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't be sure to what. The second I know: [http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/175754 In The Desert]. "[[In the Desert]]" has been referenced before. --{{User:Club/sig}} 04:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

 "This is just to say
 I have bogarted all the pizza rolls
 which you were probably saving for a party or something.
 Im sorry
 They're so gnarly
 and Im so high"
Arbitrarily forgetting apostrophes seems a strange thing to do, especially for such developers as ours. Maybe it's a reference.
As for the the Teatime one, that is definitely a reference to The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe.--[[User:Blargh|Blargh]] ([[User talk:Blargh|talk]]) 16:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
*The "Lissen" one is [[wikipedia:E. E. Cummings|e. e. cummings]]' style, but I can't place a specific piece. Perhaps "Grasshopper" ([http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15402 r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r]). The pizza rolls one is "[http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15535 This Is Just To Say]" by [[wikipedia:William Carlos Williams|William Carlos Williams]]. That poem has no punctuation, but Williams did use apostrophes in other works. And yes, I should have recognized "[[wikipedia:The Raven|The Raven]]." --{{User:Club/sig}} 23:07, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

* "Nolite te bastardes carborundorum" is dog Latin for "don't let the bastards grind you down." It comes up right away if you Google the phrase directly instead of using Translate. --[[User:Yunatwilight|Yunatwilight]] ([[User talk:Yunatwilight|talk]]) 00:01, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

 "You must ''Romani eunt domus!''"

 "There once was a man from Nantucket
 who kept all his eggs in a bucket
 Said he with a grin, as he spied them within,
 "If this bucket were corn, I would shuck it!""
--[[User:Blargh|Blargh]] ([[User talk:Blargh|talk]]) 12:40, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

See: "[[wikipedia:There once was a man from Nantucket|There once was a man from Nantucket]]..."

"You have to ''deus ex machina, et cetera!''"

"Because I could not stop to pee------<br>
it kindly stopped for -----me<br>
I had to change my ---- underthings<br>
Because it flowed so free----------"

Which is [[wikipedia:Because I could not stop for Death|Emily Dickinson]]. --{{User:Club/sig}} 05:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

"You, there! You have to carpe diem!" (at last it came!)
"You, there! You have to tabula rasa!"

 Then I had a crumpet, 
 Then I heard a trumpet
  I heard them filling up a bucket just to dump it,
  Then I saw the bugbears creeping through the black, 
 Burning through the tavern with their filthy tracks.

 So much depends
 on a rusty pitchfork
 with a spider web

 Shall I compare thee to a harem girl?
 Thou art less buxom, but far less diseased
 Thy bosoms do not put one in a whirl,
 And yet you spread not pox with every sneeze
 So I'll be true, though th'goblin harem calls
 For I can keep both thee, dear, and my balls.
--Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

==Gym==
Number and type of workouts is random. I got this. — [[User:Cool12309|Cool12309]] ([[User talk:Cool12309|talk]]) 02:51, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
*twenty-three ab rocks
*twelve squats
*thirty squats

It also appears the muscles are different.
*bikes
*obliques

==Choir Club==
Choosing the Choir Club option on successive days increases how much of the song you learn.  On my second day, I got three verses:

 Hail to algebra and cursive,
 And suppressing thoughts subversive,
 
 Hail to thee, oh hallowed halls
 With graffiti on thy walls
 
 With thy ivy-covered teachers
 And the sweat-stains on thy bleachers

And 20 turns of the effect instead of 10.

Here's mine, first day (10 advs) — [[User:Cool12309|Cool12309]] ([[User talk:Cool12309|talk]]) 20:41, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 ''Hail to jocks who hand out beatings,''
 ''Hail to nerds and their retreatings''
 
 ''Hail to thee, oh hallowed halls''
 ''With graffiti on thy walls''

I missed a day (or was it 2, hm) and I got the same verse as above and 10 adventures. How weird. — [[User:Cool12309|Cool12309]] ([[User talk:Cool12309|talk]]) 02:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
* Me too.  Seems to reset if you don't go every day.--[[User:Gunslinger|Gunslinger]] ([[User talk:Gunslinger|talk]]) 17:47, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 ''Hail to pressure from our peers,''
 ''Hail to hormones, hail to tears!''
 
 ''Hail to thee, oh hallowed halls''
 ''With graffiti on thy walls''

 "I sing of myself, for I am pretty awesome, a man woman child grown-up swinging enthusiastically through the sky,
 I totally rock in most conceivable ways, in the mirror I am reflected, and yet I reflect further,
 I'm on a horse."
