Question

What is the summary of this poem this morning is our history test

Answer 1

Answer:

This morning is our history test.

I’ve pinned my notes inside my vest.

Inside my coat I wrote my notes,

including dates and famous quotes.

I’ve written more upon my hand

that only I can understand,

and in my socks and sleeves I stowed

my scribbled notes in secret code.

I’ve written down so many names

of winners of Olympic games,

of buildings, people, places too,

from Tennessee to Timbuktu.

I even copied down a piece

on ancient Rome and ancient Greece,

plus everything from Shakespeare’s plays

to who invented mayonnaise.

I came to school so well prepared.

I wasn’t nervous, wasn’t scared.

But here it is, the history test.

I look inside my coat and vest

to get the dates and famous quotes

and find I cannot read my notes.

So much for Shakespeare, Greece and Rome.

I left my glasses back at home.
