The play-ground oddly quiet on this day,
the laughter of the children seems subdued.
Just what the difference is, it's hard to say,
as if there were no words to fit this mood.

The swings in graceful arc reach for the sky.
Sand castles being built await their queens.
All is in readiness, oh me, oh my!
What ever could this all possibly mean?

The carosel, abandoned, spins no more,
'til with this months' assignment, here comes Marge,
and then, things are just like they were before,
she went and left this old dumb moose in charge!

I laugh and give the "go-round" a big push.
Poor Marge flies off and lands right... (next to "Teach",
who promptly sends me to the principles office!)

Seems sonnets simply are not Marge's thing
She doesn't want to have to count da-DUM's
She'd rather play outside upon the swings
Or sit in class and chomp on bubble gum

She thinks that recess should be all day long
So she and Titia jump rope Double Dutch
I saw them playing hopscotch singing songs
One thing's for sure - They are not writing much

What can we do to get them back to class
So they can share their wit and poetry
Perhaps we could rescind their school hall pass
Or drag them in to stop their truancy

Well I've a word or two for them you bet
Get out your pens and write a good sonnet!!

Hi Doc!

Thanks for posting.  I enjoyed your humor and think that I probably should have played hookie during the sonnet class.  You do keep this class going!
