Homework

Homework oh' homework
All kids say it stinks,
They say they wont do it,
but that it would disappear once they blink,
They say who invented it;
and who brung it forth,
They say they wish teachers would stop giving it,
And all though I agree
Homework is a good thing,
It will help you, you'll see
It will help tomorrow, today, 
and years later
It will help you be smarter
it'll help you participate
So don't say that you hate it
All though you clearly do, because
you know that you need it
Don't you?

I really like the way you wrote this Mariam. I will have to read this to my 7 year old grand daughter. Then she'll understand nobody really likes to do it. She does up to 4th grade work, because I have her practice till I know she gets 100% ;)
