Earl Schumacker Poet Rhyme

The Irs Ate My Homework

The IRS Ate My Homework

I tried to tell anyone who would listen
How my homework went oddly missing
The dog was overused and has no teeth to chew
The teacher was tired of that excuse
First I told a little white lie and then another
But my teacher knew it was a cover
He wasn't buying what I was selling
There is nothing like the truth I’m told
A brilliant idea came to mind so clear so bold
I sold it on the spot
Anyone can easily see in this great land
America’s most honest people in the world
Employed their master plan to help me
The IRS ate my homework whole
They suffered indigestion 
When they were questioned 
They didn't even flinch
Took the 5th            
(Which is the grade I’m in coincidentally)
And went about their business
(Which is a secret)
Just ask my teacher or Lerner
