This week we read the delectable “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos Williams, in which he expertly maneuvers the “sorry, not sorry” faux-apology. As enjoyable as Williams’ poem is, it is even more fun to find out what our darling students are secretly not sorry about (mostly really delicious food). Enjoy!

I’m So Not Sorry For Taking Your Chips
Abrianna D.
I have eaten three of your chips
that were very delicious
and they were in your favorite bag
I’m disappointed that I ate them
but they were worth it
Even though mom told me
to say sorry, I’m very
sure I’m not sorry
Pizza

I have eaten
your pizza

I’ve taken the

When I Was Not Really Sorry
Quincy J.
When I walked in the kitchen I saw
a slice of cake. Once I ate the
cake I knew you were disappointed. The
cake was so sweet, so yummy. I
climbed the walls as you were looking
for the last piece of cake and I am
also a monkey running in the night and
so sorry.
Turkey Thief

I have eaten
the turkey that
was in the oven
which you were

for Thanksgiving
Forgive me, the
turkey was delicious,
so juicy and so
tender
