Why I didn't do my homework
I did not do my homework, yes it is true.
I have assorted reasons why which I will explain to you.
When you first gave the assignment I beamed on how great I’d do.
But when I walked outside the front school doors, I forgot some of it I’d knew.
So I told myself I had to hurry home, to catch it before it left,
So I hopped onto the nearest bike… what? I’ll tell you the rest.
So I hopped on this bike and it made a noise, like a buzzing sound, and then
I looked and saw there were two motorcycle tires on the ground.
Mind you I have cataracts in my left eye; I almost crashed three times.
I almost ran into an old lady; the cops chased me from behind.
They lost me in my amazing speed; somehow I got home in one piece.
I sat down at the kitchen table, when my little brother called me.
So I went back out, (I took my car) to pick him up from school. I was spotted by the cops from earlier, and led a high-speed chase to the rural.
On those long open roads, while my brother shouted, I disguised my car with others.
The whole time I’m singing Looney tunes to keep from yelling at my brother.
Cops lost me again, (a miracle) and I hurried home to finish my work.
I sat with the book, looked at my brother and yelled “Shut up you little twerp!”
I looked around the house, upstairs, the garage, even the creepy basement too.
But someone had broken in and stolen all the pens, yes; I’m as shocked as you.
But it’s the truth and I tried my hardest to get it done at least by 5:15.
Because at 5: 15 I had a doctor’s appointment for my physical well-being.
I was going to borrow a pencil from a neighbor but I fell and sprained my spleen,
and at the time those things were more important than how 2x plus 8 = sixteen.
I went to the hospital, after that headed home to finish the work you assigned,
but I ran into traffic on the freeway, so that took up most of my time.
I was almost home, when I saw a building on fire; word was with a kid trapped inside.
The police could do nothing, the mother was crying, and the firefighters had already tried.
So I went in myself, with a sweater over my face, and found the kid up the stairs.
I got us both out of that place alive without even singeing any nose hairs.
The rest of the night I was in the ER room, breathing through an oxygen mask
I had strong lungs, doctors said I could’ve died, but this five minute fame did not last.
I couldn’t believe this was happening to me, just when I knew how to do the work,
but, my luck was bad that day, it’s sad, that’s why I didn’t do my homework.
