Teacher, listen, give me a chance!
I'll explain what happened, as well as I can.
It's a pretty long story, so try to stay attentive
this explanation is long and inventive.

I finished my paper late last night 
and when I woke up I got quite a fright!
A dragon, enormous, with wings and claws
was holding my homework assignment in his jaws!

I leaped out of bed but I tripped on a book
and the dragon flew away with a very cheeky look.
I knew that the homework was due today
so I climbed out the window as he flew away.

Out on the roof, the wind was strong
and I knew very well that I wouldn't last long,
but that dragon, he had my homework
and was looking at me with an annoying little smirk.

I ran after the dragon, over the rooftop
I ran so fast that I couldn't even stop.
When I got to the edge I held in my fear
I jumped off the roof without any gear
