Homework! Oh, Homework!

Homework! Oh, Homework! I hate you! You stink! I wish I could wash you away in the sink, if only a bomb would explode you to bits. Homework! Oh, homework! You’re giving me fits. I’d rather take baths with a man-eating shark, or wrestle a lion alone in the dark, eat spinach and liver, pet ten porcupines, than tackle the homework, my teacher assigns. Homework! Oh, homework! You’re last on my list, I simply can’t see why you even exist, if you just disappeared it would tickle me pink. Homework! Oh, homework! I hate you! You stink!

Jack Prelutsky

Introduction.

Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is best-known for the poetry that he writes for children. His works have been translated into several languages and have sold more than a million copies. Prelutsky served as the country’s first children’s poet laureate from 2006 to 2008.

Prelutsky was born on September 8, 1940, in New York City. He grew up in the Bronx section of New York City and studied classical music when he was young. He attended Hunter College in New York City and worked odd jobs. Prelutsky showed some of his poems and drawings to an editor, who soon published Prelutsky’s first book, A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems (1967).

Prelutsky has written more than 40 books for children. He writes about everyday events and items or he creates fabulous creatures such as the umbrellaphant and banacondas. Many of Prelutsky’s poems can be sung to the tune of popular songs such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” Some of his best-selling poetry books are The New Kid on the Block (1984), A Pizza the Size of the Sun (1996), and It’s Raining Pigs & Noodles (2000). Prelutsky has also edited several poetry anthologies (collections) of other poets’ works such as The Random House Book of Poetry for Children (1983) and The 20th Century Children’s Poetry Treasury (1999).
