Homework for ChristmasThe teacher gave homework for Christmas. We thought it must be a mistake.She smiled when she said this assignment would take up our whole winter break.Before we return from vacationwe have to make sure it gets done.It seems that our teacher must like us.Our homework assignment? Have fun!My Dog Ate My HomeworkMy dog ate my homework.That mischievous pupgot hold of my homeworkand gobbled it up.My dog ate my homework.It's gonna be late.I guess that the teacherwill just have to wait.My dog ate my homework.He swallowed it whole.I shouldn't have mixed itwith food in his bowl.My GirlfriendI got a new girlfriend, though I don't like girls.I haven't much money, but I buy her pearls.I'm always embarrassed, but I give her flowers,and talk on the phone every evening for hours.We go to the movies, and she gets to pick.She wants to hold hands, though it makes me feel sick. She likes when I smell good, so I take a bath.I do what she asks me, and she does my math.I've Got a SecretI've got a secret! Oh, I've got a secret!But I made a promise I wouldn't repeat it.I've got a secret! Yes, I've got a secret!But I took an oath and I vowed I would keep it.Nothing and no one can make me revealthis wonderful secret I swore I'd conceal.No form of torture can make me disclose,this secret I promised I wouldn't expose.From now until doomsday my secret I'll keep,I won't breathe a whisper or utter a peep. Unless you assure me that you'll keep it too, Then maybe, just maybe, I'll share it with you.。
