Madness aboundsShow poetry

My Science Project

I hope that you believe me
for I wouldn't tell a lie.
I cannot turn my homework in
and heres the reason why:

I messed up the assignment
that you gave us yesterday.
It burbled from its test tube
and went slithering away.

It wriggled off the table
and it landed with a splat,
convulsed across my bedroom floor
and terrorised the cat.

It shambled down the staircase
with a horrid glooping noise.
It wobbled to the family room
and gobbled up all my toys.

It tumbled to the kitchen
and digested every plate.
That slimy blob enlarged
with every item that it ate.

It writhed around the living room
digesting lamps and chairs,
then snuck up on our napping dog
and caught him unawares.

My sister ran off screaming.
My mom was all agog.
I had to throw my project out
Because it ate my dog.

I then tried to catch my homework
As it slithered into our pool
I remembered you had asked me
To bring my project into school

The reason why I can’t Miss
Is plain for all to see
It just ate the headmaster
And it wants you for it’s tea

So if you want my homework
Then perhaps you would prepare
To make friends with my homework
It’s standing over there!

So this is what I like anything that has a bit of humour.

    My Dear Sir,
    Do forgive my lack of embellishment on my recent poem. I am flattered by your generosity, for I do not believe my work to be as magnificent as you see it. I will endeavour to become as accomplished a writer as you have so deemed me. As to the vampiric quality, I thank you eternally, for you have noticed. My Dear Sir, Understanding and Pondering of Things is a task to which I am well aqcuainted, but portraying my understanding in my writing proves to be a task to which i am inadequate. I thank you again, Dear Sir, for your comments on my piece.
    Forever Yours,
    Daidra
