Well, this is a new one. Better than saying that your dog ate your homework.
This is a very enjoyable poem. It rhymes nicely and I bet children would love it.
Goo luck in the contest.

Thank for enjoying the humor.

I could certainly relate to this poem.. As a teen at school exam time always seemed to scare the crap out of me and I would have a complete 'brain block'. A very well written poem demonstrating experiences of the writer.

Thank you

haha I enjoyed your take on 'left my homework or can't take a test' situation. It is very creative. Love the use of rhyme. The lines flow nicely with a fun read. I wonder how many times students wish this were true.
Good job & best wishes in the contest. Jan

A very well-written poem. When it is test time most people's brains freeze and they become a total blank, sometimes it is because of fear and other times maybe forgot to learn for the test. Lol.

Yes, if the brain freezes it might as well be on the bedroom floor.

This is delightful! I'm sure you heard all kinds of creative stories, and leaving your brain at home is such a good one :))
My mom (who I told you about replying to your review of my poem) was a teacher for 33 years - mostly 4th grade. She had such a way with those kids, people around here remember her and love her.
Thanks for posting this poem, which made me smile. I'm feeling blue today, Carol.

This is a very enjoyable poem which everyone who has ever taken a test can identify with. Great job here. It's fun and so true. We cram for the test, but then our mind goes blank. Good rhyming and flow, upbeat, fun and comical. Marilyn

Comment from Pantygynt
I wish I had thought of this one. This recalls the panic felt at being told to undertake a test for which one has failed adequately to prepare. This was a frequent occurrence in my schooldays. It wasn't that I was a lazy boy just easily distracted by my creative wandering mind. Actually when I think about it nothing much has changed.
I always seem to be at my most creative when I ought to be doing something mundane. I once wrote a three act play when I should have been revising for my finals.
I should have completed my tax return months ago but I've been writing poetry instead -- you never thought of that one Mr Trump!
A delightful little poem, I loved it.

Try this one on....
If you study while drinking beer/alcohol you will not remember the data.but if you drink again it will come back to you. This tells me that memory will be stored in a place only alcohol can reach or psychological pairing is taking place.
We need more data on testing and learning .
Humorous poem. The dog ate this post. Sorry.

I enjoyed your interpretation of the prompt and your rhymed couplets. Losing one's brain is a very compelling excuse! Best wishes in the contest- Joan
