School Today

The grandkids have gone back to school Eight-thirty ‘til eleven, The days too short for even them, At ages five and seven. We walked them there and picked them up But classes weren’t adjourning; Instead, the laptops came on board For blocks of online learning. We’re in way over both our heads On mouseless Chrome computers And also on the hilly streets Where they like riding scooters. Despite some stress, we still had fun; Our grandkids are delicious, But getting back to full-time school, Let’s hope is expeditious.
