The Last Day of SchoolJack Prelutsky
On the last day of schoolI was tickled to bits,I hopped on my desk
and had six sorts of fits,I was so glad to seemy vacation begin
that I practically wriggledright out of my skin.I rolled on the floor
and I leaped through the air,I honked like a goose
and I roared like a bear,I wiggled my ears
and I brayed like a mule,that’s what I did
on the last day of school.

BoringJack Prelutsky
By the time that August endedI was feeling sort of blue,I was bored with skates and Frisbees,climbing trees was boring too.I was sick of running races,throwing any sort of ball,there simply wasn’t anythingI cared to do at all.
It was boring, boring, boringjust to hear my parents say,“Turn off the television, please,and go outside and play.”
I was glad to see September,when vacation finally ends,and glad to be back here againin class with all my friends.

LeavetakingEve Merriam
Vacation is over;It’s time to depart.I must leave behind(although it breaks my heart)
Bullfrogs in the pond,A can of eels,A leaky rowboat,Abandoned car wheels;
For I’m packing onlyNecessities:A month of sunsetsAnd two apple trees.
