His School Project Is Due Tomorrow

His School Project Is Due Tomorrow

By Elton Camp

At two-thirty, Agnes was sound asleep
Into her bedroom her son did creep

He gave her shoulder a firm shake
“Mom, I’ve made a huge mistake.”

“Tomorrow my school project is due
If it’s late, then my life is through.”

“I had forgotten it until just now.
You’ve got to help me somehow.”

“A diorama of Hoover Dam I need
So you’d better pour on some speed.”
