My Teacher's in Detention

Today I Had a Rotten Day Today I had a rotten day as I was coming in from play. I accidentally stubbed my toes and tripped and fell and whacked my nose. I chipped a tooth. I cut my lip. I scraped my knee. I hurt my hip. I pulled my shoulder, tweaked my ear, and got a bruise upon on my rear. I banged my elbow, barked my shin. A welt is forming on my chin. My pencil poked me in the thigh. I got an eyelash in my eye. I sprained my back. I wrenched my neck. I'm feeling like a total wreck. So that's the last time I refuse when teacher says to tie my shoes. Kenn Nesbitt Copyright © 2006 Kenn Nesbitt. All Rights Reserved.
