Back to School

Dear students, the summer has ended.

The school year at last has begun.

But this year is totally different.

I promise we’ll only have fun.

#

“We won’t study any mathematics,

and recess will last all day long.

Instead of the pledge of allegiance,

we’ll belt out a rock-and-roll song.

#

“We’ll only play games in the classroom.

You’re welcome to bring in your toys.

It’s okay to run in the hallways.

It’s great if you make lots of noise.

#

“For homework, you’ll play your Nintendo.

You’ll have to watch lots of T.V.

For field trips we’ll go to the movies

and get lots of candy for free.

#

“The lunchroom will only serve chocolate

and triple fudge sundaes supreme.”

Yes, that’s what I heard from my teacher

before I woke up from my dream.
