"I can't believe we don't have recess!"
"We haven't HAD recess since 6th grade!"
"Who cares? Playgrounds are boring."
"We grown-ups wouldn't be caught DEAD on a swingset with those mini-kids!"
Teacher: Hello, class! I see you're talking about recess today?
Student: Did you hear what they just said?! How can anyone hate recess?!
"It's too much work now!"
"The swings make me sick."
"Playgrounds are for little kids."
Now, now, class, we ALL have different opinions on outdoor play areas. Professors like me, for example, say that there should be recess for EVERYONE: Grades K-12, college, working class, AND maybe senior class, because no one's getting enough exercise anymore!
...BUT this is not debate class, this is poetry class, and it just so happens I've got a recess poem RIGHT HERE, written by none other than the fabulous icon, Invisible Ring!
" *GASP* Invisible Ring?!"
"I'm her biggest fan!"
"She makes the BEST stuff!"
"I can't WAIT to hear her poem!"
See Saw - Written by Invisible Ring
You saw the seesaw
I saw the seesaw
We saw the seesaw
Seesaw see
Up go the seesaw
Down go the seesaw
Up & down, up & down,
You and me.
Bump up the seesaw
Drop down the seesaw,
Riding on the seesaw
We yell "WHEE!"
But the head gets shaky
And the tummy gets turny
And we both get sick-y
Sick we be
Drop off the seesaw
Slide off the seesaw
Face turn green and
Face turn red
We chose the wrong ground
On this playground
Why don't we
Slide the slide instead?
...Word.
"Ha-ha-ha! ...Wow, with poems like that, THIS class feels like a recess in and of itself!"
"More like INDOOR Recess!"
"OH, Indoor Recess was the BEST!"
"I know, right?!"
*BRINNNNNNNG!*
...Oop! Time's up! So glad you all enjoyed this session, but it looks like Indoor Recess is over for today. See you all next time!
