School

School.
Where you meet new friends and you meet great teachers
and it’s the start of your eternally successful life.
School, where you do work and have not the tiniest bit of fun,
however to you, the class is the most fun place on Earth.
It isn’t the work, it isn’t the recess.
It isn’t the lunch, and it isn’t Choice Time.
It’s the teachers.
They point to words and letters with their rulers.
Those words turn to sentences, to pages, to stories, to myths,
that you tell over and over, and over again.
The fairies, the puppets, the kings, the dragons,
the fantasian creatures spin and dance and jump and twirl
and run around in your head,
and it makes everything seem different.

That’s what makes school fun.
