I Didn'T Do My Math Homework

I didn’t do my math homework!
I watched T.V instead!
I better come up with an excuse... and quick!
Or else I’m surely dead!

My brother tore it!
It’s in the garbage!
Mom says it causes brain damage!

My power was out!
I had the flu!
I was having trouble excreting my poo!

You know, why even bother?
My excuses are so lame!
I know! My dog ate my homework!
Now to find a dog I can blame...

I'm not surprised, latin was ok but math caused buzzing in my head! So don't be hard on yourself, we've come this far with rudimentary interest in the stuff! Neat humor you offer :)

I tutored my son age 19 to get his maths pass, he failed at school 3 times. I took over their job and he passed, not allowed to forget his homework and there could be no excuses. Thank you so much for your very high praise I appreciate it so much. Like lots of poets I too run a site poemslastforever.com. I have some poems published which I feel very honoured to have, I get such a thrill to see my work in magazines. Once again Jacob thank you, and I will take a look at your site xx
