Welcome Back to School

By Kenn Nesbitt

“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 ’n’ 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.

Your video games are your homework.

You’ll have to watch lots of TV.

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.
