Notes About The Poem

I dont wanna go to school - A Nursery Rhyme

Ma, I dont wanna go to school.
I wanna stay home and swim in the pool.
I dont wanna be with bossy teachers,
I'll stay home and eat ice cream and peaches.
Ma let me stay home with you,
We can find fun things to do.
I'll help you today Ma, all day long.
I'll be a good help, cause I am strong.
Off to school today would be such a pity.
I'll pick flowers, the house will look pretty.
I'll sweep the floor with your broom.
Ma, you want me to tidy up my room?
Do the dishes? Clean the floor with a mop?
So many chores, Ma I need to stop.
Ma, being home isnt much fun,
I can be in time for school, if I run.

So cute, SV! This truly reflects the rationalizations of a child who doesn't want to do something then realizes that they have backed themselves into a corner! Made me smile as I remember the verbal sparring with my sons! Thank you for these moments of smiles. Sending you blessings and prayers for your healing!
