Whew!

by: Carol Diggory Shields

I didn't get my spelling done,
My science was a mess,
I totally forgot about
The social-studies test.

Finished only half the math,
My essay was too short,
The baby finger-painted jam
All over my report.

On the bus, I lost my pen,
And when I got in line,
I couldn't find the papers
My parents had to sign.

I gave up hope, went into class,
Shaking in my boots,
And saw the greatest sight on Earth -
A smiling substitute.
