School Days
by Chris Sorrenti
coming up so fast
new golden rules
for the masses
in the classes
new vocabulary
to remember
in the physical distancing
cohort circles of 15 students
teacher pods
courses divided into quadmesters
to protect themselves
and the children
from that evil Corona
body snatcher
one way or another
mental health and the economy
in the balance
no plan perfect
but the teachers’ unions
keep screaming
like a spoiled brat baby
step up
says Premier Ford
do your part
as the hospital workers
everyone’s worried
won’t be enough
some refuse to risk it
keeping the kids home
for their education
tutoring via Zooming
in Ontario
come September 8th
only one way to find out
