Almost Here

School starts Wednesday. I thought I'd share a poem.

Twas the Night Before School

Picture7 'Twas the night before school started! '

Twas the night before school started
When all through the town The parents were cheering. It was a riotous sound.

By eight the kids were washed
And tucked into bed
When memories of homework
Filled them with dread

New pencils, new folders,
New notebooks, too,
New teachers, new friends-
Their anxiety grew.

The parents just giggled
When they learned of this fright
And shouted, "Upstairs!
GO TO BED! IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT!"
