I Don’t Want To Go To School Today

I don’t want to go to school
First day, I would look a fool!
Maybe after a week
That’s not considered weak
But my parents won’t allow
Me to stay at home on it I vow
So, I have to fake I’m ailing
Maybe then they’ll get trailing
To our family doctor and complain
Why a phone aint yet in his domain
And by the time they come back
And get him to check on my back
It’ll be three days away for his work.

And he will make his examination
And of course find no deduction
He will then close the door
Pull his chair close and ask slow
Are you really sick or it’s it again,
No to school and so you disdain?
Yes, I will laugh and smile
He will smile back and with his bile
Write on a chit, Not anymore!
You’ve grown and now better know
That school is not just a mood
I hope that’s understood.

Now, I will go to school today
But hey, it’s not the first day.
