Stay In School

When all the children left for school They went to learn the Golden Rule Reading, writing and arithmetic Studying hard to make things stick The clock struck twelve it was time for lunch Some played alone others went with the bunch They could swing, run or ride on the pulley There was no time left to act like the bully Waiting for your turn to slide was the best of all Anyone could go on it whether they were short or tall Recess was now over it was time to go back to class Listen to the teacher or you won't be able to pass The children began to squirm as the day was about to end Thoughts about home sweet home was just around the bend Then came the days of summer and time for a carefree break Stay in school whatever the cost your education is at stake Copyright 2013
