Why I Didn’t Do My Homework

by Daisy Woods aged 10

Why I didn’t do my homework, Miss Smith,
I hear you ask,
I did do it, but my dog ate it.
Sorry I’ll bring it in tomorrow.

I’m so sorry, Miss Smith,
But I don’t have my homework,
It blew away while I was walking down the path,
You’re right I’ll bring it in tomorrow.

Miss Smith, You know what I’m going to say,
Still haven’t handed in my homework today.
My mum accidentally put in the shredder.
Don’t Worry Miss Smith, I’ll have it tomorrow.

Okay Miss Smith, I have something to tell you,
And it really isn’t a lie.
The truth is I never really did it at all.
No, Miss Smith don’t call my parents.

    Thanks. I’m going to try and publish some of my poems. Should I include this one

    Thank you for the offer but my parents aren’t so sure. Could you just tell me?

      I do understand. You have to be very careful when you use the internet. I’ll give you a few tips about getting started. Too much to write in a reply like this though. If your parents email me I’ll tell them and they can pass it on to you.
