My long night....

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!


This poem is one i learned quicky and at a very young age. I have recited it plenty of times and it always seems to make me laugh :) Yes, as you may have already guessed, tonight is a night for homework so i best be off and get it done.
wish me luck...:)
