School Days

By Bessie Spencer

When school begins, I count and count

The holidays 'till school is out.

I count the months, the weeks, the days

I count them up a hundred ways.

And then when school at last is through,

I hardly know just what to do.

I miss the boys, the girls, and play

And teachers also everyday.

I count and count 'till my head spins

The days and weeks 'till school begins.
