I have a friend;
Her name is Dray. This is a poem about a
friend of mine named
She has black hair,

And is friends with Tai.
She is real fun,
And enjoys the sun.
The other day, I went for a run.
I went with Erin.
I went running with my
After half an hour, friend Erin one day so I
wrote a poem about it.
Out came the sun.
Erin got burnt,
but still had fun.
One day,
I went for a walk.
I heard someone say,
I wrote a poem with a a b a b
“Lookout for that clock!” rhyming scheme.
I watched it sway,
Then went on my way,
I met a guy named Brock.

I had to write a poem for school
I wrote one but it was not cool
I was having trouble writing and
I could not get my lines to rhyme finding poems, and then I found this
poem about someone who was
I tried free verse but it was worse
having trouble writing a poem and I
could relate to it.
Searching—I found a poetry site
In the midst of the starry night
I "borrowed" from an author who
Writes poems plus other prose too

5. How easy I had searched the site
Finding a verse 'bout hate and spite
Copied it with a huge wide smile
Frown absent though my act was vile
Once finished I fell fast asleep
In spite of having been a creep
Dreams sailed me high up like a kite
As if my deed had been all right
In class I waited for my turn
To read this brilliant poem I burned
Once done I heard the teacher say
"I wrote those stanzas yesterday."
I was so shocked—wholly surprised
At teacher knowing I'd plagiarized
Yet, I knew not how to be true
You see—my name is Liar Lou
While cheating led to gauche demise
My shameful hands covered my eyes
