I Will Not Tease Rebecca GrimesI have to write one hundred times:" I will not tease Rebecca Grimes."Okay, that's one. I'm far from done.( This isn't gonna be much fun.) "I will not tease Rebecca Grimes."That's two. I'm paying for my crimes. It's all because I pulled her hair And put spaghetti on her chair. Because I gave her goofy looks And squirted mustard on her books, I have to write one hundred times:" I will not tease Rebecca Grimes."That's three. Whoopee. It's going slow. Just ninety-seven more to go." I will not tease" (I'm keeping score.)" Rebecca Grimes." (Now that makes four.) I'm soaked with sweat. My shirt is damp. I think I'm getting writer's cramp." I will not, will not, will not tease Rebecca Grimes! " Can I stop, please? The teacher frowns, and that means no. I still have sixty-six to go." I will-will-will not-not-not-not Tease-tease-tease-tease.." It's getting hot." I will not tease Rebecca Grimes."That's ninety-nine. The school bell chimes. Just one more line and I'll be through. Rebecca Grimes, this one's for you! My final line will rhyme with "Grimes":"I will not tease Rebecca..Slimes! "Rebecca Slimes! Ha ha! That's great! I'd better hide it. Oops! Too late! The teacher sees what I wrote down. She takes my paper with a frown. I now must write one thousand times:" I will not tease Rebecca Grimes. Dave Crawley
About This Quote

To tease someone means to make fun of them in a playful manner. In other words, to make fun of someone in a way that is intended to be funny. In this poem, the speaker is making fun of his friend for teasing him about something that was really no joke. This time, though, it's not a joke or a prank that's being teased, but his friend herself. The speaker finds himself in a difficult spot because he finds himself attracted to his friend after she puts a lot of effort into making him feel welcome in their new school.
