Ode To My Homework

Ode To Homework
Brandon Tieso - Grade 6

Piling up, sheet by sheet
Page by page
Until it reaches the sun
This is homework
Hated by all.

Teachers give it all day
Everyday
It is an addiction
One they can't quit.

Every detail really counts
Can't let a mistake pass
This wicked contraption
Chops down trees
And wastes ink.

Time consuming
Horrible
Awful
This is homework
Hated by all.
