A Hundred Years Ago

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.

Poem

This is a poem!

It is supposed to be 100 years ago!

But I edited it and now you don't get to read it because I deleted it!

Keep checking the Internet and maybe you"ll find it on some other sit!

SUPER SIKE! HAHA!

Trivia

  • This poem is logically impossible. Rodrick described either scenery that might have happened at the beginning of the Earth, rather than events that happened in the 1900s, or nonsensical things such as "giant spiders ruling the Earth." 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.
