I have to think of something.
Writing things is hard.

I forgot my task.

Now in the classroom.

Lying in my bed

I watch some Netflix.

Some Days you Just Forget to Write:
I have woken up
Doing the daily routine
I have gone to bed.

Open up google

Close down google.

Was this really in my head?
No wait. This is bad.

You gots to get good grammar.

That’s it! Genius!
Write a bunch of dumb haikus!
Look how far we’ve come.

I’m almost done now.
The one below is the last.
I’ll see you down there!

The Last One:
‘Aight, let’s finish this.
Time for the big finale;


Refrigerator.
