T'was the Night Before 2nd Grade

T’was the night before 2nd grade And all through the house Only one creature was stirring It’s Seger chasing a mouse. Nash is all nestled Inside of his bed With visions of that horrid Touchmath Dancing in his head. When out in our cul de sac There arose such a clatter We sprang up at 6:15 am To see what was the matter! It’s the middle school bus Arriving SO early The neighbor mom is mad, Her 5th grade daughter is so surly. It’s the first day of school! Yeah! Lets all arise! Get out of bed and wipe The Sleep from our eyes. Dad start the coffee Mom find the shower Nash get dressed Too early is this hour! But its here, its second grade And be ready we will. As the time only flies by If only it would stand still. As Nash gets on the bus Waves goodbye and signs “I love you” though the window We know he will shine. And so will your kids If given the chance. So Happy New School Year to all and “I Hope You Dance!”
