Homework! Oh, Homework!

by Jack Prelutsky


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 can't see
why you even exist.
If you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!

This is one of my favorite childhood poems of all time. I read this poem in a book when I was in elementary school in 1987.

Yes i agree, i did this poem for a speech exam in 1996 and still remember it.The (supposed) author could have at least changed a few of the words.

Hmm. . .that looks EXACTLY like the poem written in 1974 by Shel Silverstein. . . from the book "Where The Sidewakl Ends". Maybe someone ought to report this guy who's tryign to claim it was by him. I think I shall!
