thats another peom i done at school and its kinda funny
Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues
I could see myself
Head of this
So-dull, so-grey, so-uncool
Oxford University
Would just…
But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues
Should know for my children
Where’s West and East and what is Africa
Would just…
But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues
Could have this Alison-girl
So smarty-clever and cool-listener
Would just…
But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues
Could have this luxury-posh house,
This so girl-magnet car and all this softy-cool cash
Would just…
But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues
I guess I can always stop daydreaming in class…

Comments
ooooh we had to do SO MANY essays on Half caste comparing it to that other one where the poet's pretending to be a news reporter or something in a scottish accent...
I can't believe i can't remember!
Nawwww Cute poem though!
#Before you look at the thorns of the rose , look at it's beauty. Before you complain about the heat of the sun , enjoy it's light. Before you complain about the blackness of the night, think of it's peace and quiet... #
I had to read the Scottish poem from the anthology out in front of my whole class, cos I could do the accent. I got a round of applause!
There were loads of people who could read Half-Caste accurately, so they didn't get a round of applause...
Don't just do something! Stand there.
