This Year
I woke up in January
and went to the window!
There I stood dreaming
right through February!
I showered in March
and freshened up sweet!
All through April I ate
toast and drank strong coffee!
In May I wove in and out
of traffic, listening to the radio!
I spent all of June sitting in staff
meetings and working on class preparation!
July was taken up with
bending over desks and marking work!
Playground duty and sports activities
took up most of August!
Most of September was taken
up with talking and listening to children!
I drove home, stopping on the way,
to do grocery shopping, during October!
November was taken up with cooking
dinner and cleaning up afterward!
December was taken up with washing,
tidying, dusting and housework in general!
No wonder there is no time left
over for us!
Joy Weare.
1st December, 2005.
