Doris Culverhouse Poet Free verse

Saturday School

Five days a week I get out of bed holler, "Get UP!!"
Get your book bag; brush your teeth!
Saturday I say no alarm, no calls just sawing logs!

Yellow paper placed in my hands
Upset my world and brought a frown around
When did Saturday become a school day?

No sleepy naps, no snuggly huggly
Set the alarm and go to school!
Saturday school!!

Jack Horne April 23, 2012 at 11:27 AM Intriguing write here, Doris. Sounds like some sort of punishment? An extra day's school would have sure punished me. And you've drawn the school house too

The Situation April 23, 2012 at 9:24 AM trying to make out the drawing? but the unpleasantness of a punishment the point was well made.

Harry Horsman April 22, 2012 at 3:55 AM as always what ever you write, is so interesting, and really oozes with intelligences, even the crazy drawing plays it's part. awesome lady, Doris ,you are. harry
