This is Just to Say

This is Just to Say

I have punched

The dog

While stretching

I didn’t know

Until the dog

Bit me

Then I hit him

On purpose

Please forgive me

Your dog’s teeth

Are sharp

This is Just to Say

I have drunk

The last

Cherry Pepsi

In the fridge

I was so

Thirsty,

My mouth

So dry

Forgive me

I was diying

Of thirst and

Craving the sweetness

I have played with

The tigers

That were

At the zoo

And I fed them

Without

Your

Permission

Forgive me

It was wrong

But really worth

Losing two fingers and toes

I have stolen

All of the books

Lying on

The floor

And which

You might have

Read

Someday

Forgive me

They are books

And are

In my library now

I have eaten

All the chips

In the

Bag

And which

You were probably

Saving

For lunch

Forgive me

I didn’t mean it

So salty

And delicious

This is Just to Say

By: Angel Abney

I have eaten

All of the

Chocolate chip

Mint ice cream

And which

I’m sure

You were saving

For after dinner

Forgive me

But I couldn’t resist

So yummy

And so in my tummy

This is Just to Say

I have taken

Your car that

Was in my

Garage

And you’ll probably

Get it back soon

So I don’t

Pay for gas

Forgive me

Your car was

So fast and so

Nice – I needed to drive it

They call me Rocket for

A reason

I can’t be stopped

Isaac Newton’s law

Doesn’t apply to me

I’m always in motion

Forgive me

But I heard the crowd

And hear the inzone

Calling

This is Just to Say

I have left now

Gone but it’s my choice

I won’t get hit in the head

I do listen to him

Forgive me

I’m gone

This is Just to Say

By: Ta’aliyah Ross

I had thought

The sun always

Shined

But one day it

Started to turn

Black

Forgive me

For trying to be

A scientist in my

Own time
