Dreams

My teacher sees right through me

I didn’t do my homework. a
My teacher asked me, “Why?” b
I answered him, “It’s much too hard.”. c
He said, “You didn’t try.” b
I told him, “My dog ate it.” d
He said, “You have no dog.” e
I said, “I went out running.” f
He said, “You never jog.” e
I told him, “I had chores to do.” g
He said, “You watched TV.” h
I said, “I saw the doctor.”
He said, “You were with me.”
My teacher sees right through my fibs,
which makes me very sad.
It’s hard to fool the teacher
when the teacher is your dad.

I told him, “I had chores to do.”
He said, “You watched TV.”
I said, “I saw the doctor.”
He said, “You were with me.”
My teacher sees right through my fibs,
which makes me very sad.
It’s hard to fool the teacher
when the teacher is your dad.

Poem Summary
I like this poem because the
truth is parents can see through you and at the end you never would have guessed the teacher is his parent.
