Middle School Transition Day

Been to visit the middle school
Not ready to let our babies go there
First of all, they are like lambs
Innocent for the most part

But now that they have seen
The fantastically “fly” cheerleaders
Gyrating like pole dancers,
They are even more frightened.

Not the girls, of course 
As they are 12 going on 21.
I am talking about my boys,
Who sat like codfish, watching in rapt wonder.
