POEM #1


Dude – this homework puts me in a funky mood

I have started poem one, but I have two more to go,

So of course when I asked to go to the movie, my mom said no.

If I didn’t wait until the last minute

I would already be done with it.

Wait! What is that I hear?

Yeah! Summer vacation is near!




POEM #2

Poem two got me out of some chores,

But I still have to vacuum the floors.

I keep making a list of other things to do,

But first things first is to finish poem number two.

I could fill the lines with a lot of non sense,

But the teacher might think I am dense

However, I could bribe my brother

To not tell my mother

That I am taking my time at the computer to read Facebook and more

And playing Nerf basketball behind my bedroom door.





POEM #3

It’s really hard to finish my homework with baseball on TV

And the only word that rhymes is Beachy,

It’s only the Mariners and not the Red Sox

I really like Bagels and Lox.

I am getting hungry for lunch

Hmm, or how about brunch?

I need to hurry up and get this written down,

Before my uncle gets into town.

I am going to have him take me to Dutch Bros. For Red Bull

With all the extra energy, I can tackle my homework in full.

Or get my uncle to finish it for me

And he will get a pizza for free.

My baby brother is so funny

And great it is now sunny.

I need to get out there before it rains and hit some baseballs

I could play that game until the end of fall.

I keep stopping my homework to watch TV,

I found another word that rhymes, A.D.H.D.

I can’t just hold still and sit,

Maybe this last line is it?

Yes, I am done with Poem Three

My time is served and I am free.
