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 simple can't see
why you even exist,
if you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
Reason for choosing this poem: I feel that this poem is very funny, and expresses the author's detest and hate for homework, to such an extent that he would rather put himself in danger, to do his homework and that is also probably what most students feel as well. The author used hyperbole, like''Homework! Oh, homework! I hate you! You stink!'' to express to what extend does he detest homework.

Requiring someone to learn destroys otherwise interesting material. We should rethink the education system.
