End of the school year...

It’s the end of the year
Time for end of year buzz
Does this mean what I think?
I’m afraid that it does

7th graders are ferocious
Did you see the food fight?
8th graders are precocious
They always are right…(ha)

The TAKS test is done
The kids think that’s all
Let’s have some fun
They yell down the hall

NO! we reply
We have much more to do
We have lessons on PI
And final tests too!

No way! Not cool!
they say in a fuss
The count down has started
You can’t make us

But they sit in their seats
as the count down goes on
They learn all their lessons
before time is gone.

It’s the end of the year
it’s time that they leave
we have counted the days
it is hard to believe

It’s the end of the year
The bell rings and they go
The halls are all clear
We will miss them you know.
