August Season Ends
As we wave goodbye to august
the last picnic the last nature hike
before the hustle and bustle of
school starting summers ending
moms hurrying children to get
immunisation holding records
transcript’s school bus schedule
finally the packet filled with papers
to sign for field trip forms picture
pamphlet permission slips emergency
contact form medication list
allergies finally the physical forms
attached with sports application
football soccer volleyball basketball
cheerleading karate after school
programs orchestra band theatre
connected with the boys and girls
club and the ymca changing the
calendar September is in view
the principal smiles as all the teachers
clean and stock their new classroom
awaiting the meet and greet pleasant
school staff I collect the fall festival
tickets start up the kettle corn machine
new assistant principal says to me
you’re an angel indeed die hard PTA
making my rounds helping to keep
my focus on this coming school year
parents raising their hands asking
questions where’s the bus schedule
my child gets motion sickness he has
peanut allergies I introduce her to the
nurse calming her fears instantly
what day and time is early release
let us wave goodbye to august and
have a wonderful safe school year
