    The poem lists a variety of outlandish excuses a student gives for not completing their homework, including their pen running out of ink, their hamster eating it, dropping it in soup, their brother flushing it down the toilet, their mother washing it, an airplane crashing into their house and catching fire, tornadoes and volcanoes destroying their notes, their notes being taken hostage by an evil clown, being abducted by aliens and having a shark attack, and a pirate stealing their homework. In the end, the teacher tells the student it would be easier to just do the homework instead of coming up with excuses.

    All My Great Excuses (Excuses Poem)

    I started on my homework
    But my pen ran out of ink.
    My hamster ate my homework.
    My computer's on the blink.

    I accidentally dropped it
    In the soup my mom was cooking.
    My brother flushed it down the toilet
    When I wasn't looking.

    My mother ran my homework


    Through the washer and the dryer.
    An airplane crashed into our house.
    My homework caught on fire.

    Tornadoes blew my notes away.


    Volcanoes struck our town.
    My notes were taken hostage
    By an evil killer clown.

    Some aliens abducted me.


    I had a shark attack.
    A pirate swiped my homework
    And refused to give it back.

    I worked on these excuses


    so darned long my teacher said,
    "I think you'll find it's easier
    To do the work instead."

    --Kenn Nesbitt
