Ms. Veresink, parallel teacher, gave her students the opportunity to write a parody of William Carlos Williams’ “This is Just to Say.”  The winning parody is below.

I have refused
to write
the parody
you have assigned

and which
you were probably
hoping
to grade.

Forgive me.
I am too lazy –
so lethargic
and so tired.
