Oh dear teach
Please believe me when I say
"A crocadile ate my work
Just the other day"

I wouldn't tell a lie
Not to you dear Sir
A crocadile really ate my work
Cross my heart hope to die

He came into my bedroom
Crawled along the floor
Climbed up on my desk
Just started to explore

He came across my homework
Which I had put much effort to
Began to read aloud
My work I'd done for you

Then when he had finished
He opened his mouth real wide
in a sudden down his throat
my work began to slide

He then turned to me and said
"boy, your teacher would be proud
Your work was outstanding
You'd stand out in a crowd"

Without a second glance
He walked straight out the door
All my hard work and effort
I now receive no score

My teach did not believe me
When I said a crocadile ate my work
That crocadile was so mean
He really was a jerk

Oh Tracie ... just loved this ... smiling away here!    

Now if that was an English teacher, and it was a poetry assignment he ate ... you'd have nothing to fear at all ... 4 stars, A+ (and I loved the pic!)    

Best wishes,
/Kit
