I’m terribly sorry, but I cannot come to school today
I have been feeling most peculiar ever since last summer ended
My doctor says that I have an acute allergic reaction
To chalkboards and lead pencils
I also have developed a nervous habit of twitching
Caused by the smell of sweaty classrooms
And all of these rashes are a result of homeworkitis
Final exams are to blame for my inferiority complex
And my loss of hair happened during late night studying sessions
The cure is rest and relaxation for one full year
So, I’m sorry, but I won’t be at school today
