No matter how hard I really try,
I can’t think of what to write.
I grab my homework book,
And think with all my might.
It really is the silliest thing,
The words are in my head,
But when I go to write them down,
They all seem to have fled.
I try and try and try,
But the words aren’t coming fast,
When it’s time to hand in homework,
I’m sure to be the last.
