Analysis of Schools might as well be out.



They are out with

The school nearly closing

And the prospects are good

Part time work

Or the cottage

Robins singing "Summer Time"

As they should.

Kids are kids

And the classroom is stifling

Teachers pulling hair

How to make hay?

Days work eforts

Just get light

Take a hike, laugh you might

For fond memories

And Graduation Day.
