Schools might as well be out.
They are out with
The school nearly closing
Summer break
And the prospects are good
Part time work
City Park
Or the cottage
Robins singing "Summer Time"
As they should.
Kids are kids
And the classroom is stifling
Teachers pulling hair
How to make hay?
Days work eforts
Just get light
Take a hike, laugh you might
For fond memories
And Graduation Day.
