English Homework

I hope that you believe me for I cannot tell a lie.
I cannot turn my English homework in and this is why.
I begin to write the assignment just from yesterday.
I started out with writer's block---it was in my way.
Only thing that I could write was A, B, C, D and E.
Next thing I knew I was sitting by a banana tree.
The paper was in my left hand, pencil in my right hand.
And that when I saw the monkey military jazz band.
Loudly beating drums---heading to the trees of bananas.
My toes begin to tap, to Copacabana.
They grab my English paper and stomp, jump, and tore it up.
That when my dog came a barking-scared by an English pup.
I know you might not believe me; you could give me an "F".
But just open up your window and listen to BASS CLEF.
