Hole in the School Yard Fence

Hooky with no consequences?

 

 

First and Third

Two great grades

At Bovina elementary

Recess was especially fun

With games of intrigue and mystery

The hole in the fence

Was just too much to resist

The plan was laid

And at the last bell

They slipped through together

Behind one bush

Then another

Across the street they ran

Mom would drive in

For ladies class

And they could meet her there

But for now they’d visit Ms Quickle

Cookies and milk

A story about mom’s plan

Would fill out their adventure

By the time she got out

They were in the car

Just as they always were

No one was the wizer

For years to pass

The farm boy feared

That one day soon

Mrs. Quickle would tell. . . . She didn’t.
