Poetry rules

 
Class Dismissed
by Bruce Lansky

(sing to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic")


We have broken all the blackboards
so the teachers cannot write.
We have painted all the toilets black
and all the lockers white.


We have torn up all the math books
and we've locked the school's front door.
There won't be school no more.


Glory, glory hallelujah!
School is closed now, what's it to ya?
There won't be no more homework
and there won't be no more tests.
There won't be school no more.

Haiku poetry, Chatterpix and Mr. Wagner's class.




Thank you to Mr. Wagner's class for sharing their recent poetry project.  It is wonderful when students get to try new online tools with something timeless like haiku.  Enjoy!
