Incredulous (#SOL March 6, 2018)

Innovative student
Needed excuses to
Cover up
Real reason
Each assignment would not be
Done tomorrow
Until
Looking at the calendar
Only to see
 Understanding dawn that
Saturday was next

  3. Love it! Anyone who has taught has had this student. You took me back to the classroom with your spare account. Less really was more this time.

  4. This reminds me of a Shel Silverstein poem where the “sick” kid finally realizes its Saturday and is miraculously better. Your poem of Course has a different tone. Well done.
