Those Childhood Days

Acting upon addition,
Solving subtraction,
Manipulating multipliers,
Deciding divisors.

All in one class,
Four to go.

Cramming in Conjunctions,
Learning their functions.
Great grammar,
And simple sentence structure.

All in one class,
Three to go.

The school bell rings,
All run swiftly by.
Swing wildly on swing sets,
And imagination runs free.

Pizza wafted into your nose,
From down the hall and up the stairs.

The best part of the day,
Quickly comes to a close.

History tends to be next,
Heroes in China, Russia, or Switzerland.
Marco Polo or Magellan.
Countries and Continents.

All in one class,
Two to go.

Test tubes and animals,
Cells and atoms,
All come together in one simple word,
Science.

All in one class,
One to go.

Music or art,
Gym or typing,
All perfectly end,
A nonchalant day,

Out the door,
And to the bus,
It’s time to play,
It’s almost the end of the day
