Dreaded Day (Short Poem)
The dreaded day has come
The world is going to end today!
Excuse me, I must run
or soon I'll be dead I say
The world is going to end today!
Excuse me, I must run
or soon I'll be dead I say
Why am I so panicky?
I can tell you why
but excuse me I must flee
for I am soon going to die
I can tell you whym I'm dead
it's really not that hard
to see tha tI'm going to lose my head
because of the dreadful Report Card.
