My Dog Ate My Homework
From the book The Biggest Burp Ever
My dog ate my homework.
That mischievous pup
got hold of my homework
and gobbled it up.
My dog ate my homework.
It’s gonna be late.
I guess that the teacher
will just have to wait.
My dog ate my homework.
He swallowed it whole.
I shouldn’t have mixed it
with food in his bowl.
