The school day begins!

In a blink of an eye, it will be Monday morning at 0701 hours. You're still half asleep, your homework's half done. Your shower is cold, your oatmeal's dry. You're walking to school and it's thirty degrees. Your fingers won't work, your toes and ears freeze. Your zipper is stuck, your left sneaker squeaks. Your backpack strap snaps, your soup thermos leaks. You slip on school steps, you trip in the hall. The toilet floods in the bathroom stall. The gym door is locked, library's the same. The principal greets you by the wrong name. Your classroom is hot, the coat rack is packed. Your bean sprout is dead, your clay pot is cracked. Your pencils are dull, the sharpener jams. Your fingers get crunched when your desktop slams. Your math partner's gone, your neighbor is rude. Your teacher’s again in a crabby mood. The morning bell rings, it is 0801 hours. Come cozy up to the whiteboard, because another school day has just begun.
