Teacher gave homework got home from school, struggled with it.; Let's just say it involved math! Ugh, of all the subjects, it had to be math! I hated math! Mom and Dad were no help; didn't want to help. I added and subtracted, numbers didn't add up despite gazillion tries. Then I waved out a Pterodactyl with a magic wand. I wanted feed the damn thing, but it couldn't swallow my homework, so it breathed fire and incinerated it at one fell swoop, heck almost set the bedroom on fire! I went to school the next day. "Where is your homework, young man?," asked the irked teacher. *prolonged silence* "Your homework?" *it's now a staring contest* I swear the word "Pterodactyl" must've been at the tip of my tongue when she replied... "Ok, you get a failing grade" Should I have told her... "Pterodactyl torched my homework"? ...And Then A Flaming Pterodactyl Ate My Homework Poetry Contest Sponsored by John lawless Date written: 01/30/2021
