English Homework

(Very detailed artwork provided by Logan Smart)



As you may be aware, from previous postings, I had been inveigled into writing all my son's absence notes in verse. Admittedly, this was partly my fault, for having kicked the whole thing off, by writing the first note in rhyming couplets. Thereafter, it was made clear that this was expected of me.


I had recently engaged in an intensive effort to improve my son's well being, by feeding him the best organic foods and carefully selected dietary supplements. I had done this in the expectation that he would achieve perfect health, thus avoiding any more absenteeism and releasing me from my literary shackles.


My plan seemed to be working - but then disaster struck. I was invited to join in a task that had been set for the entire class, by way of punishment for bad behaviour.


Think of as many phrases as you can, that contain the letters QED


I couldn't think of any at all.


However, after much rampaging, I finally and ungraciously put the following together:



Q.E.D


Quads eat doughnuts, Quins eat dates, Quaestors eagerly dramatize, Quaint enough debates.

Queens essentially daydream, Quails eventually doss, Quark-elements demonstrate, Querulous echoing dross. Quiddity equals diversity, Q.E.D? Quod erat demonstrandum, Quite enough (D.V.)
