Homeschool mom
home school starts at half past nine
- at least, that's if we start on time
at ten till nine we clear the table
and get dressed if we are able
we yawn and stretch and get to work
or play and dig up backyard dirt
we take big breaks from boring stuff
and decide just when we've had enough
read science in a book - absurd
we'll stare mesmerized at a bird
that eats its morning feed
from our birdhouse filled with seed
learning math at the dollar store
learning art as we color on the floor
we'll learn from the library shelf
from all the books we pick ourself
undisciplined? unruled?
it doesn't mean we're all unschooled
hey, for the wages that I'm earning
I'm just happy that they're learning.
