Last Day of Summer

It's here once again,

And it's always a bummer. 

The saddest day ever—

The last day of summer. 

Goodbye pie at midnight

With video games,

Hello loud alarm clock

And learning new names. 

So long, holey t-shirts

And mismatching shoes. 

Hello tucked-and-buttoned

In sensible hues. 

Farewell lying out in the

Hot summer sun. 

Hello, pile of homework

I haven't begun.

Oh, next summer's fun

Is so far out of reach. 

In just a few hours,

I have to go teach!
