Teacher gave homework
got home from school, struggled with it.;
Let's just say it involved math!
Ugh, of all the subjects,
it had to be math! I hated math!
Mom and Dad were no help;
didn't want to help.
I added and subtracted,
numbers didn't add up
despite gazillion tries.
Then I waved out a Pterodactyl
with a magic wand.
I wanted feed the damn thing,
but it couldn't swallow my homework,
so it breathed fire
and incinerated it at one fell swoop,
heck almost set the bedroom on fire!
I went to school the next day.
"Where is your homework, young man?,"
asked the irked teacher.
*prolonged silence*
"Your homework?"
*it's now a staring contest*
I swear the word "Pterodactyl"
must've been
at the tip of my tongue
when she replied...
"Ok, you get a failing grade"
Should I have told her...
"Pterodactyl torched my homework"?
