'''A Hundred Years Ago''' was a poem written by [[Rodrick Heffley]] for an essay that [[Mr. Huff]], the history teacher at [[Westmore Middle School]], assigned. When the power went out at the Heffley residence, Rodrick sold this poem, which he wrote in middle school, for $20,000 in "Mom Bucks," or $200 in real money. Unfortunately, this trade had two consequences; the first was that Rodrick failed the essay due to it being a poem, not an essay, and the second was that Greg paid Rodrick in "fake" Mom Bucks- money he stole from a board game at Rowley's house rather than money he earned. [[Susan Heffley|Susan]] found out and immediately punished the two of them for cheating the system.

There were no books or humans<br>
A hundred years ago, there was less technology, such as no Internet or video games. but none of the things Rodrick mentions in his poem are true.(duh) you don't know that stupid what if rodrick was right did you ever think of that and even if it isnt true its a kids novel and we dont know what it is because we dont have a time machine tecnicly no one knows if their were dinosaurs it could be animals deformed or bones from smaller animals clumped up to make bigger bones you idiots...
So how are we to know<br>
What the earth was like<br>
A hundred years ago.

[[Category:Poems]]
 
*This poem is logically impossible. Rodrick described scenery that might have happened at the ''beginning'' of the Earth, rather than events that happened in the 1900s. It would have made more logical sense if Rodrick had titled this poem "A ''Million'' Years Ago."
*The poem from the movie is slightly different than this one from the book.
