Academic Athletic Meeting

Kids are playing in the back Trying to score something on what they call an attack Going left to right Experiencing an aggressive feeling plight Moving right to left No need for a flag or a ref Exercising competing in a fair style School books on the sidelines in a pile A goal is earned Nothing to be concerned Where do you find class? Kicking a peaceful pass Raising a hand having a right answer Dreaming of curing cancer A friendly message about raising the bar By setting something up for the star Testing an ego if things are going too far Nobody around Only the children recreational sound Being friends Nothing needs defense Only an attitude to your best And a handshake before the rest Being good Or doing what you should Is the priority In explaining a story Success can be seen on a lighted board Maybe after a roast beef dinner and an award But it truly comes from inside When it is respected how much one tried Calling it a game Giving it a name Memorizing dates from long ago And people who were in the know Planning what to do Is up to you Activities that are fun Can hold a lesson when they are done Creating a discussion in the classroom where it is worth a ton
