At the Announcement of a Holiday

Children howl, like wolves and dogs, Dumping rules, like dirt-dust logs; The teacher's cane rarely works, The principal flares cause smirks! Workers stand, pandas-perplexed, Cattle crazing next, stand vexed; Students some; Angels! Correct, Others: Devils! See them wrecked! Principal-tiger hurried, Like sheep, each teacher worried; Each angst of future buried, Students leap like light-bodied! 27 October 2021
