Illinois Youth Poetry
Courtenay Language Arts Center, Chicago, Illinois
4th grade
Teacher: Mrs. Judy Metzger
by: Marisa
Things I Hate
Vegetables with soggy bread,
A day-old cabbage or lettuce head,
Pinchy, scratchy dressing shoes
When your mean old teacher yells at you
Big, long homework assignments, especially math.
A black cat that just sits there and will scratch.
Big, fat juicy onions with little warts.
I hate basketball: I wonder why it's even a sport!
Going to the doctor. Dirty muddy books and shoes.
Ballet, especially those skimpy tutus and skirts.
Spoiled brats that throw fits in the dirt,
Gangbangers that run away from their mom.
