A Christmas Poem

This is a poem I wrote to go along with a gift to my team teachers.  We were all ready for break and our 5th graders were going bonkers!  Enjoy!

 

Twas the Night Before Break

Twas the night before break and all through the school,

Teachers were losing it and starting to drool.

The grades were imported into SIS with care,

And the crazy parents were notified they were there.

 

The students were stuffed with too many Christmas treats,

And starting to act out the stupidest feats.

With my head in my hands and clipboard on my lap,

I sat there thinking, “Who does this crap?”

 

When all through the school there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.

Away to the door I flew like a flash,

Peered out the glass to see the great dash.

 

 

The glare of the bulbs showed all the facts,

There was a mob going to get their buddy packs.

When what to my wandering eyes should appear,

But one of my favorite subs drawing near.

 

She said she was called to help in my class,

Because I’ve been given a leave early pass.

More  rapid than eagles I gathered my things,

And yelled to the kids, “See ya in January, you ding-a-lings!”

 

I rushed to my car so giddy I could shout,

But I didn’t say anything, I just wanted out.

The teachers all heard me as I drove out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”
