The first day of school means learning new things...like squeezing a student body and faculty into a space slightly too small for them all at once. Credit "funnel of chaos" to a new teacher witnessing this procedure for the first time.
Nine hundred bodies
spread across sunlit lawn;
Excitement only dampened
spread across sunlit lawn;
Excitement only dampened
by dew and random yawn.
An early morning meeting,
after days of summer burn;
eager students and teachers
present, ready to learn.
A solemn pledge is taken
as stars and stripes are raised.
Request for wisdom, kindness,
the Lord invoked and praised.
At last, ceremony concluded,
School in session once more.
Now head to the auditorium -
welcome announcements galore.
Just give us a few minutes, please.
Nine hundred bodies. One door.
Nine hundred bodies. One door.
