School Again

by Marian Stearns Curry

Oh, I am so excited, for

September's come again.

I'm always glad, no matter how

Much fun the summer's been.

My books are new, my pencils, too;

My lunch is in my box.

It's such a lark to join my friends

And go to school in flocks.

My hair is combed, my face is clean;

Just hear that school bell ring!

Vacation's gone, but I don't care.

I'm happy as anything!
