No Homework
I’m sorry I’ve no homework,
But it’s really not my fault,
I tried hard all last week to do it,
But got such a jolt!
Sat down to do my homework,
It was history that day,
The theme was myths and legends,
From that theme I couldn’t stray,
A Phoenix came and asked me,
If my work was good to go,
And when I said it’s incomplete,
Said blame it on dodo.
Then next day was biology,
Got help from talking horse,
He helped me with my homework,
Wanted no credit, of course.
He took my pencil in his hoof,
His writing’s not the best,
Perhaps that is the reason,
That I scored low in the test.
And next was mathematics,
Old Pythagorus sat down,
He said I couldn’t do my work,
Must take him in to town.
He asked for guidance round the streets,
With tape measure and spares,
I wondered why the tour we went,
Did visit all the squares!
So sorry that I can’t submit,
The work that you have set,
Mine aren’t some lame excuses,
That the others use, I bet.
I can’t hand in my homework,
I was just about to do,
But then a flaming pterodactyl,
Ate my homework too!
