Sick Day Trick (Poem)

I didn't want to go to school

and so I played a trick.

I coughed and wheezed and blew my nose

so my mom thought I was sick.

I slowly walked downstairs and lay

across the kitchen table.

When my mom said "Sit up straight!"

I sighed, "If I were able."

She looked at me a bit suprised

but felt my cheeks and head.

I told her I'd feel better

If i read a book in bed.

Mom sort of laughed but kept me home

Hooray!

But there's one thing that I forgot -

Today is Saturday!
