My
Dog Didn't Eat It
I
was given so much time
to
finish up these rhymes,
but
I waited till the night before,
and
now I am screwed for sure.
But
it's not really my defect
that
I didn't finish this project.
My
red and abandoned fish, Fred, died
when
my brother threw him outside.
My
clothes got wet,
so I
got an idea set.
I
caused a fire to go by
when
I threw them in the microwave to dry.
My
hair was a flowing, shiny river streaming
down
my shoulders, before I began thunderingly screaming
when
it instantly mutated into a massive frizz ball
in
the stickiest, most humid morning of all!
In a
rainy afternoon, I went out to the patio
to
munch on some crispy, green pistachios.
On a
spur of a moment, I was blinded when lightening struck!
I
would be paralyzed in a coma, if I had not ducked.
Every
time I started to work,
I
felt my phone staring at me like a jerk.
You
ought to believe me!
This
project is bad luck…please agree.
I'm
working on it at this minute.
Something
will surely happen to it.
Wait
a second! What is this?
A
poem of my excuses to end my crisis!
Awesome! You are the student publisher of 2015-16! What a great poem and a real demonstration of your sense of humor. I really like the brave irony of turning in a piece about the difficulty of writing a piece!LOL Do you write a lot of poetry of this type?
