Nov
A few weeks late, but oh well!
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! ITS A SCHOOL NIGHT!
