Answer 3

My pencil broke—I needed one
to take my spelling test.
I looked into my desk
and found one different from the rest.
This pencil was not yellow,
but a special shade of red.
I read the word upon the side:
"PLencil" is what it said.
I got a piece of paper out
to write a spelling word;
Instead of writing what I meant,
I wrote something absurd!
I tried to write down "scientist,"
but it came out "skyientist";
And on and on the pLencil wrote
a crazy spelling list.
I know you won't believe me,
but a rotten joke's been played,
and, Teacher, you just ought to give
the pLencil this bad grade.

1. What characteristic from this passage proves it is a poem?
