A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />My class is all here <br />Down to each little sneer <br /> <br />A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />Those cute little creatures <br />Have nothing to fear <br /> <br />A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />Still knowing that teacher's <br />not entirely all here <br /> <br />A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />Each little tear <br />Makes it perfectly clear <br /> <br />A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />A day off is coming <br />And hopefully near <br /> <br />a sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />It's harder and harder <br />Maintaining my leer <br /> <br />A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />Perhaps my behavior's <br />becoming quite queer <br /> <br />A sick day a sick day <br />I'll not make it all year <br />Perhaps in the morning <br />I'll call in and cheer <br /> <br />A SICK DAY A SICK DAY <br />I GOT A PAIN IN MY EAR <br /> <br />Alas...I can hear my principle sneer <br />With a resigning smirk easy to hear <br />NO SICK DAY NO SICK DAY <br />SORRY MY DEAR <br /> <br />NO SICK DAYS NO SICK DAYS <br />REMAINING THIS YEAR<br /><br />Robert John Meehan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-january-fear/
