Emma wrote this poem for her teacher for Halloween (just cause). Can you tell she's been reading a lot of Shel Silverstein? She takes after her dad and grandpa; both clever, funny, talented writers.
a change of plans…
by Emma Steed
With all these busy plans,
and since I’ll get cramps in my hands,
and really, it’s getting old and bland,
so can’t we change the HOMEWORK plans?
(Oh,yes.that would be very grand!)
My mind is much too tired to work,
and I really don’t mean to shirk,
(no,I don’t care if you call me a jerk),
but PPLLLEEEAAASSE,
can’t we just change the plans of HOMEWORK?
Yes ,I DO care about college,
my appetite just wants halloween spirit,not knowledge.
Don’t you see?
HOMEWORK is a FALLEDGE!
(don’t judge me! what else rhymes with college?)
since i don’t want to blow up my head,
(and i promise that if i get my way i’ll make your bed,)
so unless my name is Fred, I think you’d like
not homework but…
a piece of halloween CANDY!?!?!?!?!?!?
