School Open House Day School is fine
Like a castle with an army Who will be my new teacher? I like to rhyme
Big yellow carriages dropping off Will it be Ms. Crazy, Mrs. Magic, I hate history
soldiers at a base or Mr. Preacher? But that’s no mystery
A colossal monument Math is okay
Will they be tall or will they be short? When I still get to play
To some it is a place of dread Will they have stitches, a cape, or a wart? But there’s nothing like a weekend day
Sometimes they do not want to Will they be neat with their books in a stack?
get out of bed I don’t need guesses, I need the facts. Angelique C., age 7
And to some it is a home Mansfield, Texas
Whether you are human or an alien I pace and pace my bedroom floor, School and Hard Homework
Waiting for my mom to yell toward my door: School is tough. It’s really rough.
Examining potions and scrolls “Let’s go find out your new teacher!” It’s hard in every way.
Learning of new worlds and dimensions Is it Ms. Pretty, Mrs. Weird, or Mr. Creature? But we have to keep on going
Bustling crowds in the dining hall and we will all be flowing

Mount Vernon, Washington Homework is worse.
As an athlete, a wizard, a princess, a knight Subjects It makes you want to burst.
All united in one building Reading, Writing It’s really hard.
Sometimes as enemies
Science, Reciting It’s like an annoying bard.
I love school But we have to do it anyway.
But allies are always being made
It’s very cool!
