Imaginary Fever

She's up early in the morning
While the children keep on sleeping 
Dreaming of homework 
And teachers that lurk   
The old alarm clock keeps ringing; 

His imaginary fever  
Makes his mom a non-believer   
Thermometer hot 
A deceitful plot 
He's a sly one, a deceiver.

"dreaming of ....teachers that lurk" - yes, I do remember those days, as some gave me nightmares. I also remember hearing about other children warming the thermometer and fooling their mothers. I never tried it, as my mother knew everything. Fun to read, a nice reminder of a simpler time.
