Excuses

"Good morning miss Miller",
"Good morning to you too!"
I have something to tell you miss,
About the assessment you gave me last June
I know you would believe me miss;
'Cause this tale is all true!

My dog grabbed my pages miss;
He chewed and stuck them in my shoe!
Some flew out the window miss
And they all ripped in two!
Few I managed to catch miss;
And pasted them with glue.
But then my scissors began to cut by themselves miss;
I assure you it is true!

My margins all went crooked miss;
Letters all blotted in blue.
I rubbed a hole in the paper miss,
I've smudged mine with glue..
So; I thought I'd re-do them miss;
That's why mine went over due...
Never thought it would happen like this miss;
I know you are sorry too!

I tried my very best miss,
To finish mine very soon,
But then I caught the flue miss,
Now my sister's got it too!
It lasted a whole week, miss
That's why I didn't come to school
I hope you'd understand miss,
And give me an excuse;
This is what I have to say miss,
About the assessment you gave me last June!
