Welcome to Junior High

“Dear students, the summer has ended. 

The school year at last has begun.

But this year is totally different.

I promise we’ll only have fun.

“We won’t study any mathematics,

and recess will last all day long.

Instead of the Pledge of Allegiance,

we’ll belt out a rock ’n’ roll song.

“We’ll only play games in the classroom.

You’re welcome to bring in your toys.

It’s okay to run in the hallways.

It’s great if you make lots of noise.

“For homework, you’ll play your Nintendo.

You’ll have to watch lots of TV.

For field trips we’ll go to the movies

and get lots of candy for free.

“The lunchroom will only serve chocolate

and Triple-Fudge Sundaes Supreme.”

Yes, that’s what I heard from my teacher

before I woke up from my dream.

September Poem

Work Ethics…

It seems to me and always had,
To work real hard is not so bad.
Amazing though it may have been,
There those that don’t feel this within.

They wait and wish for their free lunch,
Then flock to those who have a bunch,
While I pay dues and have my fill,
To suite my taste… not other's swill.

I'm not quite sure when this began,
But race was run and no one ran.
A new race set, soon close at hand,
It could be now they’d like it banned.

Much later said won’t help when mad,
Too bad, so sad, I wish I had.
You sacrifice for change you need,
With others helping… plant that seed.

The work ethic that I have known,
Is still out there just not well shown.
Blood sweat and tears, not a cliché,
Much in demand these times today.

Too much to do, so little time,
And me here trying best to rhyme,
So pick one thing and get involved,
The only way problems are solved.
