ode to shel
i love shel silverstein, and this is quite apropriate right now, so i'll post here his wonderful poem:
homework, oh homework I hate you, you stink.
I wish I could wash you away in the sink.
If only a bomb would explode you to bits,
homework oh homework you're giving me fits.
I'd rather take baths with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion alone in the dark.
Eat spinach and liver, pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework my teacher assigns.
Homework oh homework YOU'RE LAST ON MY LIST.
I simply don't see why you even exist.
If you'd just dissappear it would tickle me pink.
Homework oh homework I hate you you stink.
homework, oh homework I hate you, you stink.
I wish I could wash you away in the sink.
If only a bomb would explode you to bits,
homework oh homework you're giving me fits.
I'd rather take baths with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion alone in the dark.
Eat spinach and liver, pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework my teacher assigns.
Homework oh homework YOU'RE LAST ON MY LIST.
I simply don't see why you even exist.
If you'd just dissappear it would tickle me pink.
Homework oh homework I hate you you stink.

dude, this is the best ode to homework I've ever heard!!!! When I go back to school next year I'm sure I'll have it memorized and sing it every night...
hey buddy!! Shel Silverstine did not write this poem. Another great poet named Jack Prulutsky wrote it. Just thought I let ya know!! so you can get ya facts straight.
