Games Are My Friends

The whole world is crazy,
They think I am lazy,
My homework isn’t done
Because it isn’t fun.

My games never rest,
They help me when I’m stressed.

Everyone says it’s late,
I’ll start my homework at 8
I get to school with homework overdue
I just want to go home and play with Mew.

I beg to my parents for more time,
I just need to explore this one last mine.


As my day comes to an end,
I must send,
My fleet out to war, to fight once more.
