My Book Report is Due Today

　　My book report is due today.

　　I haven't finished yet.

　　In fact, I haven't started,

　　which I'm coming to regret.

　　I haven't even read the book.

　　I put it off so long.

　　I thought I'd have a lot of time.

　　It looks like I was wrong.

　　I'd ask my older brother

　　what this book is all about,

　　but he's already left for school

　　and cannot help me out.

　　I'd hustle to the movie store

　　and rent the DVD,

　　but I don't even have the time

　　to watch it on TV.

　　I guess I'll have to fake it

　　and pretend I read the book.

　　Then write a bunch of nonsense

　　and assorted gobbledygook.

　　It's either that, or do the thing

　　my conscience knows is right:

　　I'll claim I'm sick and stay at home

　　and finish it tonight.
