Poem

I‘d been staying with pa - my folks got a divorce
and pa took me to the local greyhound course 
Pa’s greyhound was running, he runs very fast
He’s called Pterodactyl, pa’s dog never comes last!

I stayed in the stalls, it was pouring with rain
and our ‘Terry’ was  winning again and again
I’d an essay to write on Catherine of Aragon
So I worked studiously while the racing was on

At the end of the racing my essay’s all done
Pa comes to fetch me saying come along son 
The mutt is so hungry and wants to be fed
it chews up my homework - I wish it was dead!

I’m hopping with rage, I’m crying out loud
there’s such a commotion I draw quite a crowd
I’ve no time to re write it so I know my fate
I'll get a detention, homework cannot be late

My strict history teacher is called Mister Gorey
and he will not believe my shaggy dog story
But my story is true, yes it’s totally factual -
my homework WAS eaten by our flaming Pterodactyl

*  A shaggy-dog story a long joke that has an intentionally silly or meaningless ending

My homework was eaten by a flaming Pterodactyl
