I started on my homework
but
my pen ran out of ink
My
hamster ate my homework
My
computer's on the blink
I
accidentally dropped it
in
the soup my mom was cooking
My
sister flushed it down the toilet
when
I wasn't looking
My
mother ran my homework
through
the washer and the dryer
An
airplane crashed into our house
My
homework caught on fire
Tornadoes
blew my notes away
Volcanoes
struck our town
My
homework was absconded
by
an evil killer clown
Some
aliens abducted me
I
had a shark attack
A
pirate swiped my homework
and
refused to give it back
It
took so long to make these up
I
realized, with dread
it
would of been easier
to
do the work instead
