School Days.
Somerville Journal.
Vacation days are almost gone ,
And school will soon begin.
The children who've been running wild
Will all be gathered hi.
The teachers , much to their regret ,
Must study up square root ,
And teach the struggling young ideas
The proper way to shoot.
Vacation's almost gone , alas !
And every child thinks this :
"What is the use of going to school
When ignorance is bliss ? "
