School Holidays
Today starts the Year of the Snake.
My grandkids were given a break
For schools were all closed
Since someone proposed
That to open would be a mistake.
Different holidays now get observed
(I’m not saying that they’re undeserved)
Yet for years there were few,
Just the ones we all knew,
And traditions were always preserved.
Varied cultures are claiming their due,
Though I’d bet not all schools share that view.
If there were a debate
On this topic, by state,
Change would happen in those that are blue.
