Attitudes

Let us begin with a humorous Jack Prelutsky poem about homework angst.  

Homework! Oh, Homework!

Homework, oh homework!

I hate you! You stink!

I wish I could wash you

Away in the sink!

If only a bomb would explode you to bits!

Homework! Oh, homework!

You’re giving me fits.

I’d rather take baths

With a man-eating shark

or wrestle a lion, alone in the dark,

eat spinach and liver,

pet ten porcupines,

than tackle the homework

my teacher assigns.

Homework! Oh, homework!

You’re last on my list

I simply can’t see why you even exist.

If you just disappeared

it would tickle me pink.

Homework! Oh, homework!

I hate you! You stink!
