New School Term.
Twas the night before school started when all through the town
The teachers were groaning-a disturbing sound,
By 10 they were washed and tucked up in bed
Where memories of children filled them with dread.
New pencils,new folders new registers too
New classes,new grey hairs-their anxiety grew
The parents just giggled when they learned of this fright,
"You've had 6 weeks off.They're all yours-tough shite"
