Kindergarten Students
Kindergarten students are on a planet of their own
They dance, hop, skip, sing, in every kind of tone.
Their excited voices raise up high enough to break glass.
If I am going to sub and I see kindergarten, I promptly pass.
Kindergarten students will play with fuzz on your zippers or your shirt.
They will act all prissy when you introduce worms, gardens or dirt.
Their parents have no secrets, they tell everything they ever know.
Kindergarten students skip, prance, jump, nothing they do is ever slow.
They get under your elbows and cry when you raise your voice.
They do not answer to their Christian name, no one told them it was Royce.
They fight over each toy, and they tattle as fast as a snake rattles his stuff.
I cannot substitute teach in kindergarten, it is simply too tough!
