I’ve been sitting in detention since the end of school. I’ve been sitting in detention just because I broke a rule.
Throwing meatballs in the lunchroom wasn’t wise, I fear. I was aiming at the trash can, not my teacher’s rear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basketball’s my favorite sport. I dribble up and down the court. The ball goes bouncing off my toes and beans the teacher on the nose.
He stumbles back and grabs his nose and hits the wall and down he goes. The other players stop and stare. They’ve never heard the teacher swear
Betsy burped the ABCs, and Thomas popped his toes. Andrew sang “Amazing Grace” with hot dogs in his nose. Michael dropped the microphone. It bounced and banged a beat. Caroline confirmed how many oysters she could eat.
Jacob juggled seven eggs and dropped them on his head. Peg performed a poem with the hiccups as she read.
Little Boy Blue, Please cover your nose. You sneezed on Miss Muffet and ruined her clothes. You sprayed Mother Hubbard and now she is sick. You put out the fire on Jack's candle stick Rhyme-ABCB DEFD

I’m pretty sure my parents are pretending they are sick. I know because I taught them both to do that little trick. You blow your nose and hold your head and claim your brain is breaking. And so, a pro like me would know my folks are clearly faking.
Take a slice of moldy bread. Spread it thick with mud. Add an onion ring or two, topped with slimy crud. Sprinkle fish food all around— add a dried-up bug. Smear the whole thing with the lint you picked up off the rug.
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, little birdies’ dirty feet. Hot school lunches aren’t fit for kids to eat. So pass the ketchup, please.
Pizza topped with rotten eggs and sauerkraut, seven-week-old speckled trout. Toss it at your friends and shout. Start a food fight— you’ll get caught, without a doubt. So pass the pepper, please.
Little Boy Blue please blow your nose.a It drips like a faucet and sprays like a hose.a Your brother and sister are getting upset,b so please blow your nose—a ’cause you’re getting them wet!b
Forget that two times four is eight. Forget the name of every state. Forget the answers on the test. Forget which way is east or west.

I started on my homework,
but my pen ran out of ink…
My hamster ate my homework…
My computer’s on the blink…
I tripped and dropped my homework
in the soup my mom was cooking…
My brother flushed it down the toilet
when I wasn’t looking…

When Frederick’s grandmother
served him some fish,
young Frederick turned up his nose
and said, “Ish!”
“Okay,” said his grandma,
“I’ll give you some ish,”
as she scraped out some earwax
right into a dish.

Our teacher’s a football fanatic.
It’s all that he has on his mind.
He listens to games on his headphones
and frets when his team is behind.
He jumps up and down when they’re winning.
He screams when they fumble a pass.
We know we’re supposed to be reading,
but watching him’s simply a gas.

"My doggy ate my homework.
He chewed it up," I said.
But when I offered my excuse
My teacher shook her head.
I saw this wasn’t going well.
I didn’t want to fail.
Before she had a chance to talk,
I added to the tale:

A Girl's Garden
A neighbor of mine in the village
Likes to tell how one spring
When she was a girl on the farm, she did
A childlike thing.
One day she asked her father
To give her a garden plot
To plant and tend and reap herself,
And he said, "Why not?"

The Yuckiest Sandwich

Take a slice of moldy bread.

We’d never seen the teachers
in a state of such distress.
The principal was yelling
that the lunchroom was a mess.
It started off so innocent
when someone threw a bun,
but all the other kids decided
they should join the fun.
Great green globs of
greasy, grimy gopher guts,
mutilated monkey meat,
little birdies’ dirty feet.
Hot school lunches
aren’t fit for kids to eat.
So pass the ketchup, please.
Pizza topped with
rotten eggs and sauerkraut,
seven-week-old speckled trout.
Toss it at your friends and shout.
Start a food fight—
you’ll get caught, without a doubt.
So pass the pepper, please.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Had worn them really about the same,

A Word From the Fat Lady
by Gabrielle Calvocoressi
It isn’t how we look up close
so much as in dreams.
Our giant is not so tall,
our lizard boy merely flaunts
crusty skin- not his fault
they keep him in a crate
and bathe him maybe once a week.
When folks scream or clutch their hair

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the

I went to a place
that serves all you can eat,
and now my new shoes
do not fit on my feet.
My hat is too tiny
to fit on my head.
My legs now hang over
the edge of my bed.

their tires just wont last
when cars crash
it smells like burning ash
when cars drive slow
that means that the car just wont go
when the car slips off the road
