First Day of School - Brian Dewan

The morn is full of birdsong

And fall is in the air

My hands are folded on my desk

I sit straight in my chair

Today is my first day of school

I am not a dunce

And I've got my box of crayons

And a bag of lunch

What did you learn in school today

My mother said to me

I learned about the Indians

And Johnny Appleseed

The father of our country

And the farmer in the dell

And pledged allegiance to a flag

And lined up at the bell

Then outside at recess a fire truck went by

A second grader kissed a girl

And learned to make her cry

When I fell off the jungle gym

I almost broke my crown

Ashes ashes ashes we all fall down

I like my pretty teacher

And she is fond of me

When I am old enough

She'll call me to the spelling bee

Someday she will assign me a poem to recite

I'll marry her as soon as I can read and write
