Poetry Friday (On Monday) - Fall Break

Another Poetry Friday Monday

My school had fall break over the weekend. The students had no school Friday or today - a four day weekend. However, faculty had “staff development” today with a very interesting topic but still not a four day weekend!

In honor of school breaks:
Charles Ghigna’s
“School Daze”
From algebra to English class,
I've lost my mind, I swear;
One teacher says that pie is round,
The other - pie are square!
From A Fury of Motion: Poems for Boys

My trusty dictionary tells me that daze means to stun, to stupefy
and stupefy means to amaze, astonish

In my book . . . I am astonished that the first 9 weeks term has gone by so fast! Bring on the pie!
