Homework…Homework…

It’s done – in my old book.I've got my new book today.I've still got detention?!That's shocking! No way!

It’s on the dining room table.Sitting there. Phone my Mam!I'm not lying Sir!It’s the truth – not a scam!

I wanted to do it.But my Mam said I hadTo do the food shoppingWith my sister and dad.

We had relatives round.They left just this morning.They took over my roomWith no signs or no warning.

I didn't have a sheet, Sir.Danny had mine.If you give me anotherI'll do it – it’s fine.

The computer went crazy.The printer is bust.I wasn't half mad, Sir.I swore and I cussed.

But just occasionallyOne student might say“I'm sorry Sir. I haven't got it today.There is no excuse.I just plain forgot.”As they squirm and they worry looking flustered …and hot.

An honest response.A nice pleasant shock.But they've still got detention.“My room, one o' clock.”
