HOMEWORK
SOUP
I didn’t
have anything to do this evening,
Besides my
homework vile.
So I
rounded up all my books and
Made them
stand in single file.
I made them
march past the pen stand blue
And dip
themselves in ink.
Then I
poured them into a cauldron
And stirred
till their pages were pink.
I heated
them up until they were burnt brown,
Then I
dried them in the sun.
So the next
time my teacher asks for them,
I’ll say,
“Oh, my homework’s well done.”
