another poem

LookingToSee —

thats another peom i done at school and its kinda funny


Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues


I could see myself

Head of this

So-dull, so-grey, so-uncool

Oxford University

Would just…

But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues


Should know for my children

Where’s West and East and what is Africa

Would just…

But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues


Could have this Alison-girl

So smarty-clever and cool-listener

Would just…

But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues


Could have this luxury-posh house,

This so girl-magnet car and all this softy-cool cash

Would just…

But I’ve got the Not-Bothered-To-Do-My-Homework Blues


I guess I can always stop daydreaming in class…


its on t he model of the man who wrote half caste ohh john agard that's it!!

and i think the poem is "not enough pocket money blues"

ooooh we had to do SO MANY essays on Half caste comparing it to that other one where the poet's pretending to be a news reporter or something in a scottish accent...


I can't believe i can't remember!


Nawwww Cute poem though! =]

I had to read the Scottish poem from the anthology out in front of my whole class, cos I could do the accent. I got a round of applause!


There were loads of people who could read Half-Caste accurately, so they didn't get a round of applause...
