'Twas the Day Before "School"

'Twas the day before "school,"
and all through our home
was buzzing and busy-ness
wherever I roam.

There are no books stacked
in a backpack with care
only girls in the kitchen
baking with flair.

Recipe books are out
The creative juices flow
Cookies, and soup, and buns
in a row.

Measuring, and calculating
and managing time
debating and  serving
And cleaning up grime

Education is now
And it happens right here.
 It's fun, and it's real
And accompanied by cheer.

So when the yellow bus comes
it will pass us by
We choose to stay home
With freedom to fly.

“There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
