I do not know who the Author is but thought many of you would enjoy! TWAS THE DAZE BEFORE CHRISTMAS 'Twas the days before Christmas, And all through the school, The teachers were trying To just keep their cool. The hallways were hung With Christmas art (Some made in November to get a head start!) The children were bouncing Off ceilings and walls, And seemed to forget How to walk in the halls. When out of the teacher's lounge With "holiday shirts" And "jingle bell jewels," The teachers looked festive Enforcing the rules. There came such a chatter, The principal went in To see what was the matter. The teachers were hiding And trying to refuel, On coffee and cookies And treats from the Yule. When what to their wondering Ears do they hear, But the ringing of school bells - It's the children they fear! More rapid than reindeer The little ones came, And the teachers all shouted And called them by name; Walk, Vincent! Walk, Tanner! Walk, Tyler and Sammy! Sit, Jamie! Sit, Laura! Sit, Tara and Tammy! To your desks in the room! To your spots in the line! Now walk to them! Walk to them! No running this time! So straight to their places The children all went. With fear of detention Where they could be sent. With manuals of lessons Cradled in arms, The teachers began To use all their charms. But the lessons presented All fell on deaf ears. The children were thinking Of Santa's reindeer! With a toss of their hands They put manuals aside, Went straight to the cupboards Where videos hide. And laying their finger On the TV remote They sat back to write Their last Christmas note. But you could hear them exclaim At the end of the day - Have a wonderful, happy and L-O-O-O-O-O-NG HOLIDAY!!!
