What a horrible thing
homework is,
Murdering hours of leisure.
When we can do much better things,
And be full of pleasure.
Pages and pages of geometry,
Hours and hours of
geography,
Lessons and lessons of
fractions and decimals,
When I could be reading a nice story.
Why oh why do we have to do homework?
It's a waste of time I know,
Sitting there an eternity,
Writing and writing,
Makes me feel really sore.
And I'll have to get back now,
To finish more pages,
But of all this, I know
one thing,
It's surely going to take ages!
