What I Found in My DeskA ripe peach with an ugly bruise, a pair of stinky tennis shoes, a day-old ham-and-cheese on rye, a swimsuit that I left to dry, a pencil that glows in the dark, some bubble gum found in the park, a paper bag with cookie crumbs, an old kazoo that barely hums, a spelling test I almost failed, a letter that I should have mailed, and one more thing, I must confess, a note from teacher: Clean This Mess! ! ! ! .

About This Quote

When I found this note in my desk I was surprised to see the old kazoo, but I was most surprised by the note. It said “Clean This Mess” which is very annoying to me because the only thing in the desk is my old kazoo. The rest of my stuff is clean so why does my desk need cleaning? It makes no sense.I don’t think that my teacher would expect me to clean it myself, she must be joking.
