I had
A
Thought
It
Flew away
Perhaps
I’ll cage it
Another day

I had
A
Thought
It
Ran away
Maybe a leash
Would
Make it stay

I had
A
Thought
It
Went astray
I fear
The problem is
Brain decay

I had
A
Thought
It’s
Out of play
I think
For now
I’ll let it lay

The big day it has finally come
They tell me it will be great fun

The big day it has finally come
Looking cool, outdressed by none

The big day it has finally come
This backpack surely weighs a ton

The big day it has finally come
Unsure if I should stay or run

The big day it has finally come
Hoping for recess, a nap in the sun

The big day it has finally come
Stuck in obedience class till it’s done
