It's A Very Boring Day - A poem By Anika Creek

Today is very boring
It’s as boring as can be
There’s nothing much to do now
Nothing much to see

There’s a zebra in my bedroom
Brandishing a sword
There’s a jaguar in the garden
I’m positively bored

I’m looking at the calendar
Today is children’s day
I don’t know what to do now
It’s a very boring day

An avalanche killed thousands
About half a mile away
An earthquake just erupted
In New Delhi and Bombay

My brother’s on a spaceship
Halfway to the planet Mars
And I’m stuck here, just waiting
Gazing jealously at the stars

Today is very boring
It is boring as I talk
We got a pet gorilla
Mom just took it for a walk

I know I needn’t say this
But I’ll say it once again
Today is very boring
I think I will go insane

There’s a monkey in my uniform
A bird nest in my head
Today is so, so boring
I think I’ll go to bed

There’s nothing much to do now
Nothing much to see
Today is very boring
It’s as boring as can be
