Twas the Night Before School

Twas the night before school time and all through the house
The creatures were sturring and moving about.

The children were driving their mother insane,
Could this day really last cause it's been such a pain.

Haircuts for all and two for Max.
His first didn't look right with his new backpack.

Poor Sam couldn't find a backpack that would work,
Sew it mom, sew the old one, it's ok with the dirt.

Faith tried on outfits and much to her horror.
She didn't have one that would do from the store.

What do you think? Is this one a ten?
It's the first day of school, my clothes must be zen!

Time for make up, do her hair so that practice she could.
Help me mom! Help me mom! Help me mom! There I stood.

Off to school for a social, ice cream for all.
New teachers, new school, is this the right hall?

Max talked with his teacher, shared all his issues.
Deer in headlights, poor woman, here take a tissue.

Showers for everyone, wash your hair, brush your teeth.
Time for bed, are you ready? Please don't give me grief.

Soon more than quiet will fill this house,
On the eve of the new year, so please don't grouse.

The dark desends, but mom I can't find mine.
Oh for gawd's sake, please, I need some wine.

And now we anticipate the chaos of morning,
Sorry, I needed to be a bit corny.

Geesch, I need a job.....and I'm serious about the glass of wine.
