Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Indigestion

Master Brown you have let me down
And yourself too
Please explain in simple terms why once again
I have not yet received homework from you
Not that this surprises me it seems a general rule
Have you some objection to doing lessons after school?

Master Brown looked up at his teacher with a cheeky grin
The picture of innocence, devoid of any sin
He was a little character, personality plus
He didn't fight or quarrel or make any fuss
With one eye on his teacher the other looking at the yard
He wanted to go out and play
So had to think extremely hard

I couldn't do my homework because
I haven't got my book
You may not believe me, sir
I know who took my homework book
The teacher prepared himself for another tale of woe
He knew there was no limitation on where Master Brown's
Imagination could go

As I sat down to start my homework
I began to feel hot
When I looked out of the window
I got an enormous shock
I heard wings flapping and something aflame

The heat cracked the window
And in the monster came
It looked like a winged dinosaur
I didn't know it's name

It was boiling hot and windy
I was in a dreadful state
This creature swooped on my desk
And ate
My homework

Master Brown finished with a huge sigh
He had convinced himself his tale was true
And not a lie
His teacher had listened, it was a whopper for sure
He gave Master Brown a lecture and more
Extra homework
That would keep him busy for a while
And then he asked Master Brown if he thought the creature
Could have been a Pterodactyl
