Use his poem as a guide for your own poem that uses the same pattern. Start your poem with Shel's famous first lines:
"I cannot go to school today."
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
a gash, a rash and purple bumps."
Create the rest with a list one or more imaginary ailments. You'll have to do some brainstorming--coming up with a list of phony injuries, ailments, bumps, and bruises. You'll have to duplicate Shel's rhythm and rhyme pattern; otherwise, your poem won't read or sound right.
