Slick little Billy Willy
Smirked at Silly Hilly
Thinking they’d have fun
When the school days done
Playing house at Auntie Milly’s...

School day memories,
Were Maths and literacy,
Did compound interest, you see,
Before decimal currency,
Had no calculators, 
Used our brains, good for later!...

Tired of teaching
  Critical Race Theory?

  And maybe you are pronoun weary
    That's ok ~ Just make school days fun and cheery...

Asked to write a poem
  about Ancient Greece and Rome
The witty student said he would
  but he really didn't know 'em

Not one to be outdone
  the wily prof shot back ~
Plus a five-page paper
  analyzing your wisecrack...

For the Graduate

Your school days are done;
graduation has come.
It's time to rest.

Cause a job comes tomorrow;
to pay what you borrowed,
for all those debts.

in the fifties, back in my school days, we hid under desks
anticipating the nuclear bomb we thought Russians were sending
not all of our body fit under there, but we still had to do it
Because if that bomb was coming, we wanted to be ready...

reading to ourselves

never speaking verse aloud

do we miss the point


Note: I was reminded of this aspect of poetry when my wife recently recited one of her 
favourite poems to me from her school days by Walter De La Mare 'Off the Ground'....

Wet plates of brainy salad
stalling amongst stale French Verbs
The severed heads of Queens
rot alongside the Thames
Sullen rain for the beavered
stuttering in its grief
The pretence of concentration
gapples with flames fury
amongst dusty books...

High School days are in the past,
Your childhood bliss is gone.
Future blessings you'll unfold,
As time marches on.......

May each one that comes your way,
bring joy, success and love,
Blessed by the greatest teacher
Our Heavenly Father above.......

None so brave
Did on so many occasions 
save
Me from the bullies
Who
For far too many
Their school days ruin

Steve Säid
Jet black hair swept back
Coffee coloured skin
Immaculate

Steve Säid
How the girls did swoon
Oh,  how I wished I could have been like you

School Days 3
Can't find my homework.
The dog must have eaten it.
Missed the bus.So I had to walk next door to the school.
Mom is going to get mad. I got a F for lunch.
The day is almost over.
I watch the clock with care. 
Then it happens.I wake up!
Then I think it's only the second day of school....

On William Shakespeare's special day
  I would this much like to pray

That future generations find a way
  To fill a part of their school days
    Midst the wonder of his plays 

You'll not understand every word he wrote - OK
  But a precious line or two make sure to file away
    ~ To revisit down the road, on a rainy day...

School days
There is something these days 
I will see. 
As the days become shorter for the year I do hear.
Children now begin to jump for joy.
As they run to their buses not with toys.
 Buses here ,Buses there now buses ever where.
Traffic becomes just a real joke A real slow poke.
School days are here.
WOW! the quite of the storm....

School days 2
Up in the morning, I due dread.
Running and screaming I hear in bed.
Back to school what a joy.
Reading, writing and no toys.
The roar of buses I hear them come.
Schools days prepare to begin.
Buses here and buses there.
When is the buses going to end?
I hear someone one shout "is it summer yet"
And It's the first day of school....
