Absent From School

Tony had an unwritten absence Which he did not choose. He suddenly became ill. He hated having the blues. He coughed, had a fever; Lay completely still. He felt nauseous, And he had body chills. His mom was the one Who told the school his fate. The teacher was saddened to hear Tony did not feel great. He hated missing school. He was popular and smart. He always studied hard. He used his mind and heart. It took a few days Before Tony was well. Then again went to each class Before the tardy bell.
