“Can’t”

Can’t is the worst word that’s ever been written or spoken.

On loose leaf, neatly copy the poem. The poem is in the SCOPE magazine next to the story about Jen Bricker (the girl with no legs who has amazing super powers).

Skip lines.

Remember that each line of the poem should be on a new line on your loose leaf and starts with a capital letter even if it’s in the middle of sentence.

CHANGE AT LEAST FOUR OF THE RHYMING WORDS.

The new words must rhyme and should make sense with the overall theme of the poem.

EXTRA CREDIT:

Memorize the poem and recite it to the class (perform).
