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.
