On Monday, I did everything right-
except put on my pants.
On Tuesday, I went to sit down at my desk
but then I saw that it was covered in ants.
On Wednesday, I thought I was late for school
but then I looked at the clock and saw that it was 5:30.
On Thursday I went out to recess,
I tripped over a rock, plopped right into the mud
and got very dirty.
On Friday I forgot that there was no school
and when I saw that no one was there, I felt like a fool.

It was always a great school day when the regular teacher called in sick and we had a substitute. Or a snow day. Loved the poem.

Dude, she’s nine years old. No one’s expecting Gwendolyn Brooks or Maya Angelou.
