If I am able to remember enough about my school years, this will be the first of a series of poems about those years. Tihs first one was motivated by a life-time friend of mine posting a play-ground merry-go-round on Facebook. motivation come from a lot of places...Thanks Lynn
The First Day of School
By Franklin Price
5/2/2016
I thought the day would never come
When I would go to school
Was only six, smart as can be
Was joining in the pool
The first day came, the bus arrived,
The sign went out, and stopped
The driver opened up the door
And on the bus I hopped
We chattered and we yammered
Riders ,high school down to child
Didn't think too much about it
But sure we drove the driver wild
Seems it took forever
Crossed the causeway and lagoon
Finally reached the school yard
Would go week days until June
First through sixth in building two
Seven, eight in building three
Nine through twelve in building one
A twelve year journey it would be
But this was just the first day
Found my desk within my class
Can't remember what I learned that day
But the hours quickly passed
The final bell rang end of day
First day's end for each of us
Ran outside to find my ride
Rushed quickly to the bus
Took at least a day or two
To finally reach my home
Although it was in Florida
Might as well have been in Nome
Oh, what an adventure
That first day was the best
Riding down that country road
On the bus with all the rest
