It's not that I lied intentionally. I posted my Poem for Tuesday last week before I knew Mrs. Clare was going to slip in one more. So here officially is the last poem from her classroom for the year.
The Creature in the Classroom
Jack Prelutsky
It appeared inside our classroom
at a quarter after ten,
it gobbled up the blackboard,
three erasers and a pen.
It gobbled teacher's apple
and it bopped her with the core.
“How dare you!” she responded.
“You must leave us . . . there's the door.”
The Creature didn't listen
but described an arabesque
as it gobbled all her pencils,
seven notebooks and her desk.
Teacher stated very calmly,
“Sir! You simply cannot stay,
I'll report you to the principal
unless you go away!”
But the thing continued eating,
it ate paper, swallowed ink,
as it gobbled up our homework
I believe I saw it wink.
Teacher finally lost her temper.
“OUT!” she shouted at the creature.
The creature hopped beside her
and GLOPP . . . it gobbled teacher.
