Homework: My Enemy

Like an uninvited guest, you invade my time

Forcing me to despise you, and jot down this little rhyme

Because you, you're my enemy, even though you're devoid of life

And I just mentally murder you all the time, with my knife

You see, I'm a teenage girl, I have social engagements too

But then I can never enjoy them, because my priority is also you

I've dropped my plans for you, so many times I can recall

And you make me want to smash my head against a wall

There's History and Geography, they make me go mad

And Mathematics and French homework simply makes me sad

Economics isn't bad, the homework simply kills 

And then there's art, testing my creative skills

This is more like a plea to the Lord of school

If you exist, giving homework for the summer isn't cool

Please, let me live, and don't torture my soul

Because I'm stuck between books simply dying as a whole

This is fun - lighthearted and it took me back to the times when I would scribble poetry instead of studying.

I LOVE IT!!! Very descriptive yet simple and straight to the point.

Okay my friend we all had that urgh..smmh... moment in our life when it comes to homework or an assignment. But I assure you make the sacrifices now and you'll surely reap the reward afterwards. Picture making the big $$$ in future and being able to trow the craziest and wildest PARTY just because it's FRIDAY!!!

This is a fun piece, crying out to the homework demons! Yes, we teachers know that it is the bane of your existence - some of us are even sorry! :) It's summer now, so you'll have a break - keep writing! (No, that was not a homework assignment - or was it? ;)

It is Summer here in Michigan. Poor daughter is free from homework for three months. I didn't like homework either. Good description for the burden of homework. Thank you for the excellent poem.
