THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR
The start of school came,
Our teacher greeted us saying,
“Hello students! You all look the same!
The school year has begun, and this time you won’t be paying.
We’ll have fun,
In the class as well as ground.
The studies will be some,
And far and few between.
You are allowed to bring their toys to school
And play with them and not do a stroke of work!
You are allowed to honk and hoot,
And nobody will mind.
No more boring lessons of History
Just games, games, and games.
You are allowed to scatter your books of History,
And nobody will mind.
No more heavy P.T. exercises too,
And certainly no boring Music lessons!
You allowed at all lessons to boo
Loudly and nobody will mind.
With just games and games and no studies,
Isn’t it wonderful?
Isn’t it wonderful?”
The students said eagerly, “This,
Is going to be a smashing year.”
Before I woke up from my fantasy,
And found that I was late to go to school!
There the teacher greeted us saying,
“Hello students! You look different!”
I was rudely shocked,
But this was just the beginning!
“The school year has begun, and as usual you will be paying.
We’ll have important studies this year!
So prepare yourselves,
For no games and study, study, and study!”
Ah, I was surprised,
But still I didn’t say to a buddy,
“I wish I could return to my fantasy.”
