    The poem lists a series of outrageous excuses that a student gave for not completing their homework, including their pen running out of ink, a hamster eating the homework, a computer breaking, homework being flushed down the toilet, and an airplane crashing into the house. The teacher tells the student that it would have been easier to just do the homework instead of coming up with so many excuses. The student is implied to be young based on the silly excuses.

    ASSESSMENT 8
    POETRY
    STD 4

    I started on my homework, Tornadoes blew my notes away….


    but my pen ran out of ink…. Volcanoes rocked our town…..
    My hamster ate my homework…. My books were taken hostage
    My computer’s on the blink by an evil killer clown…..
    I tripped and dropped my homework Some aliens abducted me…..
    in the soup my mom was cooking…. I had a shark attack….
    My brother flushed it down the toilet A pirate swiped my homework
    when I wasn’t looking…. and refused to give it back….
    My mother ran my homework I worked on these excuses
    through the washer and dryer… so darned long my teacher said,
    An airplane crashed into our house…. “I think you’ll find it easier
    My homework caught on fire. to do the work instead.”
