As a rule-
It is a bit scary, on the first day of school.
.
Everything is brand new-
With new friends, to acrue.
.
New teachers and a new place-
Time to get comfortable, in this
unfamiliar place.
.
New school supplies, that must be put away-
For use later, on another day.
.
To grit one’s teeth, to make the day through-
To finally go home, and say a big whew.
.
For the second day will be A-ok-
We know where we’re going, because
we went through all of that on the first day.
.
As a rule-
It is a bit scary, on the first day of school.
