‘Twas the week before school starts
      So prepare now to change,  
And wearing school clothing
      Will seem a bit strange!

​

‘Twas the end of the summer
       So what will I wear?
'A new uniform,'  said Mother,
      Which doesn’t seem fair.

​

In some countries, I think,
   Children wear what they choose,
Perhaps tee-shirts and trousers - - 
     And some nice trendy shoes?

​

‘Twas the week before school starts
      So we're off to the shop
And Mother’s voice calls us:
    'Come on now, chop chop!'

​

There's a problem for children -
     Which I'm sure you will know:
Children never stay dormant
     But continue to grow.

​

So last year’s school clothing
     Now no longer fits,
So it’s off to the clothes shop
    To buy our school kits.

​

To waste summer’s sunshine
    Seems not really cool,
But it’s 'goodbye school holidays.'
    We're off soon to school.

​

It's our first day of term now

     So we'll meet up again.    

So its 'Hello you school books

      And that paper and pen!'
