All My Great Excuses</h2>
<i><b>A Funny School Poem for Kids</b></i><br />
From the book <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1416943641/?tag=poetryforkids">Revenge of the Lunch Ladies</a></i><br />
<img border="0" src="http://www.poetry4kids.com/images/illustrations/all-my-great-excuses.png" /><br />
<div class="poem">
I started on my homework<br />
but my pen ran out of ink.<br />
My hamster ate my homework.<br />
My computer's on the blink.<br />
<br />
I accidentally dropped it<br />
in the soup my mom was cooking.<br />
My brother flushed it down the toilet<br />
when I wasn't looking.<br />
<br />
My mother ran my homework<br />
through the washer and the dryer.<br />
An airplane crashed into our house.<br />
My homework caught on fire.<br />
<br />
Tornadoes blew my notes away.<br />
Volcanoes struck our town.<br />
My notes were <span style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Take hostage: To kidnap and hold for ransom.">taken hostage</span><br />
by an evil killer clown.<br />
<br />
Some aliens <span style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Abduct: To kidnap.">abducted</span> me.<br />
I had a shark attack.<br />
A pirate <span style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Swipe: To steal.">swiped</span> my homework<br />
and <span style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Refuse: To say no.">refused</span> to give it back.<br />
<br />
I worked on these excuses<br />
so darned long my teacher said,<br />
"I think you'll find it's easier<br />
to do the work instead."</div>
