The Old School On Oak Street

The old school on Oak Street Holds memories for me, Of elementary years And a time that was carefree. ‘Twas a part of my foundation, The formative years; Preparing for the future, With all its hidden fears. Reading, writing, arithmetic. Spelling, chorus, art. Science and English Were all a vital part. But, too, there was fun. The old 'playground, ' The highlight of the day, Gave a 'break' from the 'noun.' The teachers were endearing— So lovable and kind. The food was delicious, And cooked, oh, so fine. The old school on Oak Street— Haynes Elementary— I will always cherish With such fond memory.
