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.
