Sample:
I Can't Write a Poem Forget it.

You must be kidding.

I'm still half asleep.

My eyes keep closing.

My brain isn't working.

I don't have a pencil.

I don't have any paper.

My desk is wobbly.

I don't know what to write about.

And besides, I don't even know how to write a poem.

I've got a headache. I need to see the nurse.

Time's up? Uh oh!

All I have is a dumb list of excuses.

You like it? Really? No kidding.

Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one? -Bruce Lansky
