HW Homework! Oh, Homework!

Memo­ri­ze (aus­wen­dig ler­nen) the first stan­za (Stro­phe) of the fol­lo­wing poem.

If you memo­ri­ze all THREE stanz­as and reci­te (vor­tra­gen) them in the next les­son you’ll get 1 MR, but only if you pro­no­un­ce all the words cor­rect­ly. Check the cor­rect pro­nun­cia­ti­on by cli­cking on the dif­fi­cult words.

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. (You make me very angry.)

I’d rather take baths
With a man-eating shark,
Or wrest­le (rin­gen mit) a lion
Alo­ne in the dark,
Eat spin­ach and liver,
Pet ten por­cu­p­i­nes (Sta­chel­schwein),
Than tack­le (anpa­cken) the home­work,
My tea­cher assigns (auf­ge­ben).

Home­work! Oh, homework!
You’­re last on my list,
I simp­le can’t see
Why you even exist,
If you just disappeared
It would tick­le me pink. (I would be very hap­py.)
Home­work! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
