Well hello! Today we have a guest post from Mr Dave Dearman, a Kiwi author and English teacher. He used to be my old English teacher actually. Here, we have one of his poems:
You know, I am a real tough guy,
I don't care about school.
I'm strong, the girls all look at me,
I really am so cool.
My face is handsome and I like
The way I do my hair.
But school is really boring -
And I really just don't care.
I never do my homework,
And I sleep when I'm in class.
I flick the girls with rubber bands
And wait for time to pass.
I'm really good at basketball,
I play it every day.
The others do their homework,
But I go out and play.
I am the tallest in my class,
The other kids are small.
This is because I was held back,
But I don't care at all.
My friends, when I was in Form 1
Are now two years ahead.
This is because I never did
The things the teachers said.
But sometimes, when I look around
I think - you know, if only
I'd done my work, well then perhaps
I wouldn't feel so lonely.
