Awesome First Day of School

Awesome!
Back to school sales
Check the list: crayons, glue,
Drawing paper, notebook paper
Everything, checked and packed
For the first day of 180
Gone, oh no, summer’s gone!
Homework? You’ve got to be kidding
I don’t want to write about my summer vacation
Just kidding, sure, I had a great… long… boring summer
Killer heat, sweltering humidity,
Lightning taking out the power for days
Missing my friends, my games, my computer
Nothing fun to do
Overwhelming frustrations dealing with my
Parents, who just don’t understand how hard it is.
‘Quit complaining,’ they’d say,
‘Remember, we didn’t even have air conditioning,’ they’d say
So, I’m supposed to be
Thankful for all of that?
Understand me, please, I’m not complaining. Just
Very glad to be
Welcomed back, with such an original assignment complete with
Xeroxed graphic organizers to help me think, like I don’t know how
You want me to go to the office, sarcastic attitude… who me?
Zowie! That didn’t take much! Back on vacation again!
