Back To School, verse # 2

Back to school…

They’ve had fun all summer long,
but now they’ll have to settle down,
but not before the final rush
to get school supplies from town,
there are notebooks, pens, and pencils,
a new calculator, too,
a new compass and a ruler,
some winter clothes and new shoes,
there are folders in different colors,
binders and filler paper, too,
and you can’t forget the pack to put it in,
you know it must be cool,
then there’s that lengthy list containing
items listed A-Z,
will they really need all this stuff,
I don’t see how it could ever be,
but the school says they must have it,
so off we’ll go again
to face the crowds and traffic,
it’s time for school to start again.
