A Grand Excuse

The giant frog monster thing

Oh what joy did he not bring

It grabbed me by my pink dress

It wanted to eat me, I guess

My parents were shooting

I was hollering and hooting

 

They shot at her stomach

She was as big as a hummock

Blood trickled down

But soon we’ll run her out of town

 

They shot at her arm

We should lock her up in a funny farm

Blood trickled to the floor

This is one event full of gore

 

Finally they shot her in a vulnerable place

Down she went but still held on to my lace

My parents pried me from her cold dead hands

I gave them a hug that was oh so grand

 

So, this is why I didn’t show up for school

Please dear teacher, I didn’t break the rules

This grand excuse is very true

Oh please! Not detention! Boo! Hoo! Hoo!
