School

The younger two and Mum were doing poetry today, so I joined in.

<!-- Science -->
Pour in the Kerosene, set it alight
The bunsen burner's a young boy's delight.
Big girl Holly swipes her hand through the flame
Bumblebee enters the room, stops the game.

<!-- Bible Studies -->
Closing the Bible, she stood, left the room
Boredom and dullness had gone, no more gloom
In she came again, her arms full of bread,
Peanut butter, honey; "let's do what we read".

<!-- Discipline -->
Knees quiv'ring, chest heaving, running for hours;
Alsas, the punishment rightfully ours.
Being smart to teachers got us nowhere
at this school, our life was worth less than a hare.
