That summer feeling

As the sun comes out

And school kids shout

Running through the halls

And through the door

Crowds of kids fill the sidewalk

Supervisors pushing the crowd back

And stopping the jaywalkers from crossing

Their actions just keep the kids talking

There’s talk of work

And talk of play

And talk of sports

Till they’re all bored

Parents in their cars pull up

To retrieve their kids

They arrive home

To plan their vacations

Each one with a pencil and paper

Make their list of dreams
