TV says so
it was a newsperson

summer’s
over
I hear
and is that so
no
more extended day for play
vacations must be done
or not
happening

and all sights must be set on school
all shopping and
all
interests

and we might plead
not a student
or
a teacher and have that apply

except the seasons of the culture
are determined
by
180 days
and yellow buses
flashing lights and how to
plan
for holidays

as
well as what
to hope
by way of learning into
training for the generation taking over
once
the time of graduation speakers
done and paper handed out
suitable
for
framing

and
well
regarding end of summer
well
say it isn’t so
Joe
though Joe had to admit
it was
so
