'Twas the night before school
And all through the home
Not a child was laughing
It was all moans and groans
Dad was scrambling
To get the kids to bed
While mother slapped some peanut butter
On the last few pieces of bread
Clothes were laid out
All back packs were hung
Summer was over
The fat lady had sung
The kids were restless
And in their beds by eight
Alarms were set
So no one would be late
Finally all,
Were asleep in their beds
While visions of Recess
Danced in their heads
When all of a sudden
There arose such a clatter
“What is that !!!”
“What could be the matter!!”
I couldn’t hit the snooze button
Nearly fast enough
“Ugh” I groaned
This morning would be rough
“Mom, it’s too early”
The kids whined and pouted
“Get up!!! We are going to be LATE!!”
The mom shouted.
Clothes, breakfast, toothbrushes
Not a thing to be missed
And on their way out the door
Each adorned with a mothers kiss
The mom sang while she swept
She made that house shine everywhere
No one would mess it up today
Because NO ONE would be there!
With the last load of laundry drying
As she made up her bed
Visions of Biggby Coffee
Danced in her head
Oh yes! She thought
She will get herself a Frapp
And then to Meijer’s, or the mall
Or maybe take a nap
She looked at the clock
The time was 2:33
There is still so much work to be done
And she hasn’t had her coffee
That’s ok
It’s September for goodness sake
There are many more days
Before Christmas break
Kids bounced through the door
Full of stories and cheer
Happy school days to all
And to all a Great year!
