Missing Homework

Missing homework where could it be?
I search high and I search low.
In the bins and on the road.
As I think to myself, my little brother, Twisted is he as he jumps around eating every thing he sees.
Minutes away before the carpool gets here,
And I am trembling in my fear.
Should I make up an excuse?
Oh what am I thinking she's Miss Smith she is as mean as mean can be.
Should I pack my bags and move to Brazil?
I hear they have a really cool dollar bill.
I have one last look under the couch
Only to see that homework I so badly need.
My life is not over,
I don't have to move now
I can relax in the back of the car.
