SUMMER DAYS

A poem by Hannah Jit, 4th grade

Every kid looks forward to summer Your bright summer sunny days

All so fun never a bummer Always waiting to feel your warm rays!

The days are filled with endless fun,

Warm weather and no school! You can stuff your face with hot dog buns Do what you want, be cool!

Free to be yourself and goof around Enjoy your days while they last! You can be as loud as you want or not make a sound It’s sure you’ll be having a blast!

Rise higher and higher, Be free and break the rules Let your imagination grow, just don’t play with fire. Don’t worry about anything, not even your schools.

Summer is time for vacation, Hopefully will not be boring,

Time for wonderful relaxation, To feel the sun on your back roaring!
