Another Poem

Homework! Oh, Homework!by Jack Prelutsky
============
Homework! Oh, homework!

I hate you! You stink!

I wish I could wash you

away in the sink.

If only a bomb

would explode you to bits.

Homework! Oh, homework!

You're giving me fits.

I'd rather take baths

with a man-eating shark,

or wrestle a lion

alone in the dark,

eat spinach and liver,

pet ten porcupines,

than tackle the homework

my teacher assigns.

Homework! Oh, homework!

You're last on my list.

I simply can't see

why you even exist.

If you just disappeared

it would tickle me pink.

Homework! Oh, homework!

I hate you! You stink!

Test

The Purple Cow

I NEVER SAW A PURPLE COW,

I NEVER HOPE TO SEE ONE;

BUT I CAN TELL YOU, ANYHOW,

I'D RATHER SEE THAN BE ONE!
