First Day of School

A first grade teacher I didn't need.
My brother taught me how to read.
Learn my numbers? What, again!
Since I was four I could count to ten!

A frightful bore that first day of school.
That teacher really played the fool. 
She was sure I should have a Spanish name. 
Oh! The relief when recess came. 

Swing! Slide!
There was a monkey bar for climbing too!
Now that at least was new!

On the merry-go-round
A brand new friend I found
From Sawmill town. 

I guess I'll stay,
​Maybe even come another day.
