Typically Luke Poem 11 - the Spelling Test
Friday is spelling test day
At the school where Luke does go
Of course Luke hadn’t learnt the words
He just didn’t want to know
He should have learnt them every night
Straight after tea
But he’d much rather go out and play
Or sit and watch TV
Come Friday morning
Luke claimed that he was ill
A belly ache, an ear ache
Though he refused to take a pill
His acting didn’t fool anyone
His lies did not prevail
He went to school and took the test
Of course, a massive fail
But Luke isn’t all that bothered
And he’s forgotten about his ‘pain’
He doesn’t have to worry about tests anymore
Well, not until Friday comes around again.
