Homework Machine The Homework machine,oh the homework machine Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen. Just put in your homework,then drop in a dime,. Snap on the switch, and ten seconds' time, Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be. Here it is~"nine plus four?" and the anwser is "three." Three? Oh me.... I guess it's not as perfect As I thought it would be. ~ Shel Silverstein

1.~My interpretation of this poem is about kids who dont like to do homework so shel silverstein made a poem about a homework machine to entertain the reader. 2.~This poem is a hyperbole because it is using exaggeration like saying, " Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen." If this homework machine was perefect then it would know what 9+4 is so their using exaggeration. 3.~ I think my poem fits in the free verse because one shel silverstein does mostly free verse poems. 4.~ The mood of my poem is excited because they have a homework machine and there describing how perfect. 5.~ I choose this poem because I hate doing homework and I find this poem very amusing. 6.~Shel silverstein started writing at the age of twelve, He was enlisted in the armed forces and fought in the koren war. He wrote "where the sidewalk ends", "the giving tree", "light in the attic". ​ I put that picture because while this kid was doing his homework he could have just used the homework machine.
