A Sonnet for Homework

I forgot about homework, yes truly

Then remembered, but forgot once again

I’m surprised how poor mem’ry, it threw me

To a panic, yet I managed to pen

One quatrain while I sang in the shower

A few more lines while I combed through my hair

A couplet while crying in rush hour

And some more rhymes that I plucked from thin air

Should my sonnet be filled with delusions

Or brimming over with loves sad and true

I’m not sure, but I’ll tie up the loose ends

I mean, it’s just homework I’ve got to do

Hey, look, everyone! Ten beats ’til we’re done!

Ten, nine, eight, seven, five, four, three, two, one
