The Full Moon Behavior

When the children are off the chain, off the wall, over the moon with behaviors all crazy,
The teachers all look toward The Farmer’s Almanac and say, quick and don’t be lazy.
Barricade the doors, lock the windows, button down the hatches, a full moon is coming our way.
Yes, it is easy to see that tomorrow is going to be one of those “Oh my God”kind of days. 
If you think this is silly, then you have never had the honor of being stuck in a school with twenty-two.
They can get you so riled, so worked up, so frustrated, that you will turn all kinds of blue.
Not every day, because the full moon is not out every night, but on the days that it is clear,
Teachers can tell you they go home early, exhausted, wiped out, and have the biggest kind of beer.
