I Stayed Home From School Today I"m staying home from school today
I'd rather be in bed
pretending that I have a pain
that's pounding in my head.
I'll say I have a stomach ache
I'll claim I have the flu
I'll shiver like I'm cold
and hold my breath until I'm blue.
I'll fake a cough. I'll fake a sneeze.
I'll say my throat is sore
If necessary I can throw
a tantrum on the floor
I'm sure I'll get away with it
Of that, there's little doubt
But, even so, I really hope
my students don't find out

antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

the lines show odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. however, odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.

2.thick as the foliage of the waving wood;  

3.between them an extensive valley lay,  

4.o'er which the gleaming armour pour'd the day,  

5.when from the camp of the philistine foes,

6. dreadful to view, a mighty warrior rose; in the dire deeds of bleeding battle skill'd,
