My Dog Ate My Homework

I'm going to tell you a story, I swear its 100% true..
About what happened to my homework, and why it was overdue.
You see my dog ate my homework, oh no! oh gosh!
I stare at it in horror, its been gobbled and squashed.

I've worked hard all week to have my homework done..
I did it all by myself.. with no help from my mum.
No excuse, no reason, it cannot be late..
The punishment detention.. and that I would hate!

Now I must explain to my teacher, OMG! what a fright!
I know he wont beleive me.. but then again.. he might.
But perhaps, my dear teacher, you'll find it quite absurd..
That my dog ate my homework.. every single word.
