The Last Day of School

On the last day of school

Back when I was a kid,

We got our report cards

And here’s what we did –

 

We ran to our friends

And compared what we found –

The class we’d be in once

The fall came around.

 

We cheered or we cried

Knowing where we would be

And which pals in our classrooms

That we’d get to see.

 

Today those report cards

No longer exist

And there just are goodbyes

As each class is dismissed.

 

At the end of the summer

The parents will learn

Which teacher their kids will have

When they return.

 

I suppose that this method

Prevents stress and tears

But they’ll just show up when

The new school session nears.
