Spring Break Fun Day #5

This is one poem everyone can write. Why? Because it's so easy and so much fun. All you have to do is to make a list of your favorite excuses/complaints you make every time you’re ask to “____________”

Children

-Clean your room

 -Do your homework

-Eat your dinner

Parents list might look like this…

-Clean up the house

-Pay the bills

-Make the dinner

Whatever poses a constant battle in your house can magically turn into poetry, add just the right title and ending and voila! You've written a terrific list poem.

Here's how it might turn out:

I Can't Write a Poem

Forget it.
You must be kidding.
I'm still half asleep.
My eyes keep closing.
My brain isn't working.
I don't have a pencil.
I don't have any paper.
My desk is wobbly.
I don't know what to write about.
And besides, I don't even know how to write a poem.
I've got a headache. I need to see the nurse.
Time's up? Uh oh!
All I have is this dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?
