Back to School Days

The Little Red Schoolhouse by Larry Dyke

I couldn't quite get myself in the mode for Saturday Centus today, so I decided to post this year's back-to-school photos of my grandkids instead, along with a nostalgic little poem to serve as captions. Hope you enjoy Heather's handiwork as much as I did!

Each year, we all went back to school

reminded of the golden rule

by parents who expected much:

good manners, grades, and other such.

Some of us went off with a smile,

happy to go and stay awhile;

while some could only wear a frown,

as schoolwork dragged their spirits down.

But most were hoping for the best,

expecting they would pass each test,

and praying for a teacher who

would find good things for them to do.

Some worked real hard and thought a lot.

as teacher's pet, they earned their spot.

But others played around a bit...

made mischief, for the fun of it.

Still, all the kids were good at heart

and mostly glad for school to start!

(Even Mr. tough guy).
