What is it now
Who invented it
Did they know how
What is its purpose
But to punish and heel
The unruly student
And the ones who kneel
Ask all the children
At home and abroad
From the isle of Eireann
To the House of Saud
Do you like homework?
Is it great?
What happens if you don’t do it,
And submitted late?
There is homework
A cultural norm
Primordial concept
Without substance or form
That is homework
A job well done
Outside of hours
The terminator of fun
Now they argue
With conviction and strain
It must be finished
Through all moments of pain
Here is no homework
With a promise note
I’ll do it tomorrow
The parent wrote
Why is homework
A prescribed force
The educators wedge
A hammer of sorts
No-one likes homework
The voices will cry
Stress and anxiety
As students ask why
Tears and frustrations
Of those who can’t
Brief interest and fellation
Of teachers want
Worked overtime once
And got paid a double
Not applicable to homework
Not done means trouble
Would you ever feck off
And leave the children alone
With your hardship pf homework
Invading their home
Obesity they exclaim
Climbing like ivys bind
Children of tomorrow
Losing their mind
Run, be active, well being and sun
Sit for hours
Until your homework is done
Contradictions and contraptions
Cannot get near
The nonsensical concepts
Prescribed through fear
It must done, they should and they must
Away with your nonsense, you idea will rust
Into the earth and die a death
Future generations will gasp for breath
With shock and horror
And mystified thought
At your concept of homework
That never worked
Why oh why oh why….
