September is the new New Year
And I’ll tell you for why
Although a time children may fear
Their parents just can’t lie
Lockdown’s been tough
Homeschooling’s been rough
By July we’d all had enough
Back to school kid, with love
A new New Year means lots of new things
Costing an arm and a leg
Bedecking our children out like kings
Adhering to scholastic rules and regs
Shoes and coats they don’t love
Ten packs of pencils, still not enough
Obnoxious coloured uniform is rough
Sorry kiddo, no choice, just tough
See the parents are filled with secret glee
Cos they’ll have time for hot cups of tea
And space without noise, clutter or fuss
Or even, if they want, hours of hush
Lockdown’s been tough
Homeschooling’s been rough
By July we’d all had enough
Back to school kid, with love
