How many lines does the poem Forgetful by Bruce Lansky have?

My sister woke up in the morning.

She had to go potty real bad.

I must have forgotten to put the seat down.

She fell in the toilet--how sad.

She yelled and she screamed and she hollered.

There's no doubt that she's very upset.

Whenever my sister is nasty to me,

It seems that I always forget.

--Bruce Lansky

What is the mood of the following poem by Douglas Florian?

WHY MY HOMEWORK IS MISSING

Deep inside my wooden desk

Lurks a monster most grotesque.

It ate my pencil and my pen,

My composition book, and THEN

It started rattling

clattering

hissing.

And THAT is why

My homework is missing.
