Homework
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 simple can't see
why you even exist,
if you just disappeared
it would tickle me
pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
Jack Prelutsky
BOA CONSTRICTOR
I'm being eaten by
a Boa Constrictor,
A Boa Constrictor,
A Boa Constrictor.
I'm being eaten by
a Boa Constrictor,
And I don't like it
one bit.
Whadaya know, it's nibblin'
my toe.
Oh gee, it's up to
my knee.
Oh fiddle, it's up
to my middle.
Oh heck, it's up to
my neck.
Oh dread, it's mm-mm-mm-mm...
Shel Silverstein
