Pencils hitting paper, page after page being turned
Students writing down everything they’ve learned.
Teachers getting mad at assignments not turned in
Pouting little kids whose recess is cut thin.
Spitballs sail, paper balls launched at once
Things are getting crazy; thank God it’s time for lunch
It’s almost 3:30. Let’s take our books and run
For only at the final bell does the school day become fun.
