School Today

The grandkids have gone back to school

Eight-thirty ‘til eleven,

The days too short for even them,

At ages five and seven.

 

We walked them there and picked them up

But classes weren’t adjourning;

Instead, the laptops came on board

For blocks of online learning.

 

We’re in way over both our heads

On mouseless Chrome computers

And also on the hilly streets

Where they like riding scooters.

 

Despite some stress, we still had fun;

Our grandkids are delicious,

But getting back to full-time school,

Let’s hope is expeditious.
