'Twas the night before school starts

If you see this pinned somewhere else...know that you saw it here first!

'Twas the night before school starts

when all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Lesson plan books were filled diligently with care,

In hopes that all of the students soon would be there.

Students were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of new teachers danced in their heads.

The children all wondered...Will she be funny?  Will he be nice?

Is it true that I'll often get my head checked for lice?

Teachers wondered if they did enough to prepare.

If not, the kids were coming tomorrow so BEWARE!

Even with the help of Melatonin or one less Coke before bed,

Each teacher could not lay down his or her exhausted head!

When out in cyberspace there arose such a clatter,

Teachers' spouses went to computer screens 

to see what was the matter.

And what to their wondering eyes should appear?

But thousands of teachers online....OH DEAR!

Pinterest...Blogs...Teachers Pay Teachers...

They all had such amazing and wonderful features!

The cyberspace 'reindeer' leading the way...

(Chris Biffle, Harry Wong, and Deanna Jump)

All had so much to say!

Dedicated teachers showed up in the dead of the night,

For one last idea that would make that first day just right.

"Enough is enough!" yelled spouses all over the nation.

"It's time to go to bed or you'll end up in the Nurse's Station!"

The teachers all logged off and headed for bed,

But their last Facebook message read:

"Happy School Year To All  &  To All A Good Night!"
