SCHOOL


The sun beings to rise, as the rooster crows
A new day has started, as we all know
The children get dressed and brush their teeth
After breakfast they leave, arms open, and books beneath
Off to learn a new topic, or perhaps a day of fun
It is a place they love, and stay til the day is done
First they sing the anthem, with their glowing voice
Then pledge the legions, as they remember, those who made the choice
Now they say a prayer, for everlasting joy
Then find an activity or their favorite toy
Then it's time for recess, to play with their friends
Back to the classroom, where there's a lesson they must tend
Learning all their numbers, starting one - ten
Then their ABC's, then they start again
Lunch comes and goes, with the blink of an eye
Math, then art, and after a great big *Sigh*
Children are angelic, as they know the rules
For their teacher is their best friend, when they are at...
