Homework Machine
by Shel Silverstein
The Homework Machine , oh the Homework Machine, Most perfect contraption that’s ever been seen.
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds time,
You homework comes out, quick and clean as can be. Here it is – “nine plus four?” and the answer is “three”. Three?
Oh me…
I guess it’s not as perfect As I thought it would be.

I love this poem so much. I remember this being one of the first poems I have ever read, and I fell in love with it immediately. I was just browsing through a Shel Silverstein book and I found this poem and it made me laugh. Hope you like it. 🙂
