Poem: I stayed home from school today

I stayed home from school today I’d rather be in bed pretending that I have a pain that’s pounding in my head

I’ll say I have a stomach ache I’ll clear my got the flu I’ll see if I like them cold I hold my breath until I’m blue

I’ll fake a cough I’ll fake sneeze I will say my throat is sore if necessary I can throw a tantrum on the floor

I’m sure I’ll get away with it of course there’s little doubt but even so I really hope my students won’t find out
