A Poem for a Boy’s School Assignment
I am a young boy of nine.
I live with my grandparents.
I’m a hater of the feline,
And I never give compliments.
I am of Asian heritage.
I live in the city of Sonia.
I’m building a bird cage,
And I had last year pneumonia.
I am popular and cool.
I live in a big manor.
I’m doing this for school,
And I hate assignments of this manner.
