Velociraptor screeches at eight AM!
Owls hooting at high noon!
Chattering of squirrels at half past three!
Am I in a classroom or a menagerie?
Let’s all play the silent game!

Ha! The silent game! Wishing🤣.
This was a good laugh, D.K.! I'm sure you're looking forward to your summer break!
This brought a much needed smile to my face, DK!! Thanks for this!!
This is great and I see you used the word "velociraptor" lol. I had that in my Lighthearted Laughs entry! :)
Donna Fox is the Queen of the Acrostic poem, and after reading your example I now wish to see if I can write something. P.S. I didn't see an area where we limit the number of pieces per day by an author... 3?
Haha. They was great, and I don't envy you. 🤣
That brings back memories for all of us. And no wonder my kids teachers sent notes home. Only thing worse than being a teacher I think is a school bus driver. I had always said I would stop after a mile and call the school and tell them to come get them. Great poem and I liked the reference to owls and squirrels. Nicely Done!!!
Well-wrought! So too is life at home with kids sometimes, which means things are good.
Hilarious! Time to make a poster for all the other teachers out there
Ah, classroom madness! I remember it well! I see squirrels were mentioned as a comparison. Not sure who comes out better in that!
