'twas the night before school started



'twas the night before school started
when all through the town
the parents were cheering...
it was a riotous sound

 
by eight, kids were washed
and tucked into bed...
where 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


disclaimer: i read this online tonight and thought it was so cute, so i had to post it so i could remember it later :)
