Homework! Oh, 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 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!

Love Poems

I think this poem is good for children who are in secondary school as they often get lots of home work and a great deal of pressure put on them .

I like this poem because i can relate to it, the poet who wrote this poem used lots of exaggeration and rhymed using things you might not expect in a children's poem such as " i'd rather wrestle a lion or dive with a man eating shark."
