School

A nod to all you students out there!

The class is silent.

Not a sound

Comes from the students

All around.

 

They know the teacher’s

On his way.

Coming soon

To start the day.

 

The door creaks open,

The teacher walks in,

He looks around,

The room is dim.

 

“Alright!” he says,

“You mangy lot.

Let’s get to work,

‘Til I say stop.”

 

They open their books

To page 79,

And stare at the Math

For quite a long time.

 

“The Math is too hard,”

One kid complains.

He went to detention,

That wasn't his aim.

 

“Any more questions?”

Asked the teacher all set,

“YES!’ They yelled.

“IS IT SUMMER YET?”
