Have A Wonderful Summer Break Poem by Joseph DeMarco

Twas the day before summer break,
And all through the school
Not a single kid was studying
or following one single rule.

The books were all stacked in the corner with care,
while paper and spitballs
were airborne everywhere.

The children would not listen to what teacher said,
As visions of vacation
danced in their head.

They'd have parties and picnics, plus get to sleep in
The only downside was dealing
with their family and kin.

But that was a very small price to pay,
A very small sum,
Because sweet summer break had at long last come.

The clock ticked toward three,
soon they'd be free
Half left their seats before their teacher could decree,
'HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER BREAK! '
