My Dog Ate My Homework

My dog ate my homework,
 the teacher heard before.
 But this time I’m telling the truth—
 I dropped it on the floor.

Right beside his dinner dish,
 before I could react,
 he chewed it up and swallowed it.
 I could not get it back.

Now my homework is gone.
 It’s literally no more!
