UNDER DESKS OR ON ROLLER SKATES

I once had this idyllic picture of children…in school…learning with their mates
or outside playing together…running, jumping, laughing…riding on roller skates.

But that idyllic picture has changed…it’s not so idyllic anymore….
as we’re faced with another school shooting…and parts of the world at war.

In the midst of war…death comes quickly…lives are lost…hearts are broken
In the instant death arrives…there’s

1st Grade With Miss Harvison At Thatcher Elementary

1st Grade With Miss Harvison at Thatcher Elementary 
David Walker 

I
Miss Harvison’s smile greeted each taker of
An assigned seat of big kids desks 
in our very first First Grade class 
at Thatcher Elementary 
It was early in September after a 
Long summer and a 
Successful year of half-day kindergarten 
The beginning of numbered grades 
All

School Desks, That Fly






My desk was constructed of  
genuine wood, with seat attached.
No, not movable as they are today.
Highly polished with an ink
well, as we used fountain pens!
Books? You lifted the top
and in they went.
We had leather schoolbags
that went below.

Later, when I was a teacher,
they were light as you see today.
Since I taught in the wildest schools, 
misbehaving pupils

Just sitting has become a fashion and the order of the day of life schooling to shopping,leisure to relaxing,chatting to betting,mailing to billing whatever once standing working sitting on a desk like at schools on line in searching the offline.

School Desks

I recall the old school desks,
Ink for fountain pens a pesk,
Ink wells with lots of blots,
Blotting paper smudged the lot,
There was ink on all our hands,
Ink monitors in history's land!

Get Under Your Desks School Children

I am spinning my radioactive waves today.
Alpha beta gamma
There they go!
Beta gamma alpha
Even faster.
Gamma alpha beta
Man can they fly!
I am radium.
My atomic nuclei is rapidly disintegrating
So please get under your desk, school children.
And put your tiny fingers and arms over your heads.
So you will be safe.
