The First Moments of Class

Title: The First
Moments of Class

Backpacks,
Lunchboxes, and Toys
is what I lay eyes
on when they parade
in the speechless
classroom

During the time I’m
behind the desk
chalk in hand
outlining the day
after day class
duties on the
chalkboard

Chatter, Chatter,
excessively volumes
of chattering , and
rambling

An I’m all ear

The children our in
cheer the way they
are grinning at each
other is like their
mother said,” Hey
Dear.”

An the time tics
till near so that
means a frown is
clocking down it’s
near

Then The School Bell
Sounds and the
children glimpse up
with fear

Ok children will you
all be placed in a
seat the
schoolteacher says

Completing your
schoolwork is just
like choirs so stop
the modest feeling
and just be obedient

Like a penny dropped
in a quiet room I
overhear a little
boy mumble man The
first minutes of
class are constantly
sickening.
