I didn't do my homework. <br />My teacher asked me, "Why? " <br />I answered him, "It's much too hard." <br />She said, "2+2 You didn't try." <br />I told him, "My dog ate it." <br />She said, "You have no dog." <br />I said, "I went out running." <br />She said, "You never jog." <br /> <br />I told him, "I had chores to do." <br />She said, "You watched TV." <br />I said, "I saw the doctor." <br />She said, "You were with me." <br /> <br />My teacher sees right through my fibs, <br />which makes me very sad. <br />It's hard to fool the teacher <br />when the teacher is your mom.<br /><br />Phillip Ahrens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/homework-14/
