The Silliest Teacher in School

Our teacher gave detention
to the fountains in the hall.
She handed extra homework
to the artwork on the wall.
 
We saw her point a finger
at a banner and a sign.
She said their bad behavior
was completely out of line.
 
The principal approached her
and said, “What is all this fuss?
I heard you tried to punish
all the tires on a bus.
 
“You’ve made the teachers angry
by disrupting all their classes,
so if you want to keep this job,
you have to wear your glasses!”
 

Recess! Oh, Recess!

Recess! Oh, Recess!
We love you! You rule!
You keep us away
from the teachers in school.
Your swings are refreshing.
Your slides are the best.
You give us a break
from a really hard test.
 
Recess! Oh, Recess!
We want you to know,
you’re sweeter than syrup,
you’re special like snow.
You don’t assign homework.
You make the day fun.
You let us play kickball
and run in the sun.
 
Recess! Oh, Recess!
You’re first on our list.
We’d be in despair
if you didn’t exist.
We’re happy we have you.
You’re awesome and cool.
Recess! Oh, Recess!
We love you! You rule!
