I can't go to school today
'I cannot go to school today'
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
'I have a stuffy and runny nose,
And black goo on my little toes.
My eyes are tired and way too red,
And the rash on my neck as spread.
My lips are way too flaky and dry,
There is a small cut on my thigh.
I have a severe foot and toe cramp,
And my hair is very damaged and damp.
My teeth are crooked and bright yellow,
My legs feel like a bowl full of Jell-O.
I think I have come down with the flu,
And I'm pretty suremy chin grew.
My arms feel very brittle and weak,
Is taht a bruise on my cheek?
All my leg hair has fallen off,
I have developed the whopping cough.
I have a nasty cold,
And that stuff on my fingers is mold.
I think i am going to puke,
I swear to you this is not a fluke.
My ears are way too big,
And I am getting as fat as a pig.
My face is wide, my hair is long,
I can't stop bursting into a song.
I broke my leg getting out of the shower,
My mouth tastes a little too sour.
I have a fever, and my stomach is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is...Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!'
