I fell asleep in class today, as I was awfully bored. I laid my head upon my desk and closed my eyes and snored.
 * I Fell Asleep Today**-Ken Nesbitt

I woke to find a piece of paper sticking to my face. I’d slobbered on my textbooks, and my hair was a disgrace.

My clothes were badly rumpled, and my eyes were glazed and red. My binder left a three-ring indentation in my head.

I slept through class, and probably I would have slept some more, except my students woke me as they headed out the door.

 * Excuse Cheer**

Our center's nose was runny. Our forwards had the flu. The guards were feeling funny. That's why we lost to you. Your team is overrated. We really didn't try. Our coach was constipated. I'm telling you no lie. Now go and take a shower and hop back on your bus. You know we'll beat you next time, so you'd best watch out for us!

He’s downloading his ABCs And calculating 1-2-3s. He’s memorizing useless facts While doing Daddy’s income tax.

He’s processing, and now he thrives On feeding his internal drives. He’s throwing fits, and now he fights With ruthless bits and toothless bytes.

He must be feeling very smug. But hold on, Baby caught a bug. Attempting to reboot in haste, He accidentally got erased! Write in class Sample poetry journal, compare to what you have
