BACK THEN - AUGUST
August claimed to its fame
The name August Vacation
Even if schools closed in July
The longest school closing
Following on its heels was
The new school term
Going to a new class
With the smell of new books
The fortunate kids flew to
America, regardless of which state
Back at school they boasted
They went to America
Stay-at-home vacationers
Pelted mangoes, papered books
Spent time in the country by gran
And returned to school fattened
