Twas the night before school, and all through the house
SOME children were resting--as snug as a mouse!
While visions of school and friends danced in their heads,
Three other children had their own plans instead!
Mom was sitting and resting, recovering from the day
Thinking tomorrow she would have much more time for free play.
When from somewhere in the hall there arose such a noise
That she jumped up from the couch to go confiscate some toys!
The noise was from Evie--but MORE were awake!
So mom asked them the reason for the choice they did make.
It is only 9, they said, why should we rest?
It's playing and reading that we love the best!
Reminded once more of their big day ahead
They agreed that soon they'd be willing to lay down in bed.
It was hard but they were tired, so they finally gave in
Mom felt like a champion, at last she did win!
So good night my dear children, sleep all the night long
For tomorrow is school and you will be gone.
I will miss you, but listen, learn, play and have fun
For too soon you'll grow up and all this will be done...
Evie is checking to make sure we have all the school supplies on the list
