    Default pulling a fast one

    Covers pulled above his head
    clinging to the comfy bed
    thinking of that sunlit beach
    and the taste of some sweet peach
    lying beneath the sparkling sun
    goodbe to all that summer fun
    when schooldays seemed so far away
    oh just to have another day
    of carousels and pony rides
    bumper cars and winding slides

    now back to school once again
    back to paper, desk, and pen
    down below his mother called
    as his baby sister bawled
    within his heart a tiny rage
    jealous of her pre school stage
    johnny, get up. Or youll be late
    breakfasts ready, its half past eight
    turning in to the wall
    pretending not to hear at all

    now her footsteps on the stair
    as he said a silent prayer
    now he heard the doorknob turn
    back to school, you have to learn
    then her footsteps on the floor
    me tummys feeling awful sore
    ill be better by tomorrow maam
    though she knew it was a sham
    she smiled at him, and quietly said
    if your sick, then stay in bed

    Hi again Steve6, I´m glad I read one more of your poems, I think that "fried bread" is as good as short and original, but in this you made a complete short story about the problems for kids to go back to school, leaving sweet home, tv shows, getting up late, holidays, all we know about that. Good work, please continue writing and studying, and don´t forget to share with us. Thank you for this good moments of reading, I really enjoyed it.

    Thanks again, folks. I'm a big fan of John Betjamins and tried to write something in his style.
    I tend to rhyme a lot. So you could probably take many of them as song lyrics without music or rhymes.
