The First of Many

Isaac starts school tomorrow. Here is a poem for all of the boys out there who are going to kindergarten this year.

"The First Day of Kindergarten"
by Robert Pottle

Today was it. I went to school.
It was fun and kind of cool.
We did the hokey-pokey dance.
Peter cried - he wet his pants.
Miss Libby said to make a line.
I got paper. I drew mine.
But all the kids were in a row.
Miss Libby said, "Come on, let's go."
I sang and drew and had some fun.
I've gone to school and now I'm done.

Huh?
What did you say?
I've got to go another day?
I am not done this afternoon?
I've got to go until mid-June!
I thought today I was all done.
I guess today was just day one.
