Homework
What is about homework
That makes me want to write
My Great Aunt Myrt to thank her
For the sweater that's too tight?
What is it about homework
That makes me pick up socks
That stink from days and days of wear,
Then clean the litter box?
What is it about homework
That makes me volunteer
To take the garbage out before
The bugs and flies appear?
What is it about homework
That makes me wash my hair
And take an hour combing out
The tangles in my hair?
What is it about homework
You know, I wish I knew'
'cause nights when I got homework
I've got much too much to do.
