At Home I'll Stay
Tuesday, May 9, 2006

okay, so kitkat told me to post it, but it's not firefly related so it's not going in fan fic area.

It's not a poem, it's a children's story that just happens to rhyme. Hope you don't hate it

At Home I'll Stay

"I will not go to school," he said
as he stomped his feet and shook his head.
"I'll run away, at the circus I'll stay,
if you make me go to school today."

So his mother grinned a devilish smile
"Fine, you can stay here a while."
with that he gave a happy scream
for this had often been his dream,
to laugh and jump; all day to play,
not sitting in class to waste away
listening to the teacher teach
the many noun and verbs in speech.

His mind was racing he'd have to ponder
on his free day where shall he wander?
"What I shall do is take a bath,
that is much better then learning math!
Not a bath to clean my hands and toes,
this one I'll take with the garden hose."
But while he saoked to the bone
he frowned, "it's not much fun alone"

So, inside he went to play a game
he had Nintendo on the brain.
but when he had won, there was none to show
how he'd demolished his eletronic foe
and after sometime of sitting on the floor
his little bum had grown cold and sore

"I must get out and use some muscle!"
He jumped on his bike in a hustle
he pumped his peddles in a fury
going no where in a hurry
It just so happened as he flew
He passed a building that he knew.

The red brick stucture with grass surround
but lo, his school mates on the ground?
Crawling on their elbows and their feet
the dirt and their nose did almost meet.
and so this was with his whole class
studying with a magnifying glass
the creepy slimy crawling creatures
for the dirt had been the lesson's feature.
They all seemed to have so much fun
moaning when the bell signaled done.

He peddled hom in a hurry;
slamming the door in his fury.
"Why didn't I go to school?" he said
as he stomped his feet and shook his head.
"Stuck in this boring house all day,
while my class, in the dirt they play.
You can't make me stay home tomorrow!"
as he wallowed and sulked in his sorrow

"you really miss that learning place?"
His mother asked with a knowing face
"then have it your way my fickle son,
go everyday til your learnings done."
with this the boy became to pleased,
he wrapped his arms around her knees
he would go and let the teacher teach
the different nouns and verbs in speech.
and forever more the boy did say
"I'm glad to go to school today."

Pretty much sums up how every little one feels about school. Nice use of rythmic patterns. It'd be a perfect poem for a childrens book. :)
