When a teacher's thoughts wander...
a glorious thing
this Break in Spring
when the flowers bloom
and the new birds sing
when the children sneeze
and whine their pleas,
“Less homework! Fewer tests!
More eeeease!”
a wonderful thing
this Break in Spring
when dreams of lying
on beaches are king
when lo! it is strange
to adjust to time change
an hour lost but eve’ning gained
a delightful thing
this Break in Spring
when the second-hand drags
and the minute-hand stings
the air a little sweeter
the desk a little neater
air-conditioner instead of a heater
a magnificent thing
this Break in Spring
when a phoenix season
hatches fledgling
refreshed and renewed
with energy imbued
and flaunting a new attitude
