This is a poem I received as a group activity in my Children's Literature class. I thought it was really cute and thought I would share it...
Homework! Oh Homework!
by Jack Prelutsky
Homework! Oh Homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you
Away in the sink,
If only a bomb
Would explode you to bits,
Homework! Oh homework!
You're giving me fits.
I'd rather take baths
With a man-eating shark,
Or wrestle a lion
Alone in the dark,
Eat spinach and liver,
Pet ten porcupines,
Than tackle the homework
My teacher assigns.
Homework! Oh Homework!
You're last on my list
I simply can't see
Why you even exist,
If you just disappeared
It would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh homework!
I hate you! You stink!
