My First Day

See me skip.

See me run.

See me walk.

See me grin.

When the bell goes, I go in.

See me jump.

See me play.

I’m in Grade One, hooray!

Hello everybody, how do you do?

T'was 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,

While 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
