Sample Poem: 

Deadly Homework

It’s obvious that Science
Is not my favorite class,
And Mrs. Nogg, my teacher,
Doesn’t think that I will pass.

She’s heard all my excuses
About where my homework went.
She won’t believe a thing I say;
Her patience has been spent.

So last night I did my homework,
‘Cause I didn’t want to fail,
But my chemical experiment
Just didn’t go too well…

The jar that I had mixed it in
Tipped over on Mom’s plants…
They grew some teeth and came alive,
Then did a spooky dance.

I tried to think of something…
(They were drooling on the floor!)
So I grabbed them all and threw them out,
Then quickly slammed the door!

Today I have a new excuse
To tell to Mrs. Nogg,
But I doubt that she’ll believe me….
My homework ate my dog!
