Summer Is Wasted On the Young

As a parent I drool To send kids back to school. Far too much frantic fun Drains me shallow, no pun. Rowdy, raucous ransack Leaves calm space out of whack. Summer - precious and short - For adults I’d retort . Hot spot, wasted away On young - I dare to say. Blatant truth to be told - Schools should shut in the cold. For all we care or know Children thrive in the snow. August 22, 2022

I live in Hawai'i, where it only snows on Mauna Kea, because I hate snow, but children never seem to notice that it is absolutely frigid! Why risk lives sending kids to school during a blizzard? Enjoyed, Margarita! Aloha!
