About the Poem
One time I was talking to a friend, who mentioned that he will go for days without checking the mailbox and that the mailman probably hates him. I was thinking of that, and it became the inspiration for this poem.
I Don't Want To |
| by Rosebud |
| I do not want to clean my room I cannot close the door; There's so much junk piled here and there I cannot see the floor. I do not want to cut the grass It's almost one foot high; And the weeds are so abundant I just don't want them to die. I do not want to get the mail I haven't in many a day; The box is probably full of junk And many bills to pay. I do not want to rake the lawn I haven't since last fall; There are plenty of leaves left over Hidden in the grass so tall. I do not want to do my work! Have I got that clear to you? I'll get it done some other day Have I got that through? |

My son complained that he could not find a poem that he liked to read to his class. Thank you so much for creating this poem and giving him the incentive to make an effort. We both think it is brilliant and believe it will go down well with his teacher and class.

Awesome poem! It's funny in a very true way. I do my chores, but when I'm not supposed to. Sometimes I'll start cleaning my room when I'm supposed to be sleeping at all hours of the night! Well done. I have chosen your poem to use in an English project where we collect poems that follow a theme. Mine is humor. =)
