Start dates for this fall's academic calendar have ranged from mid-August to mid-September.
This poem always makes me think of the beginning of the school year:
Taste of Purple
Grapes hang purple
In their bunches,
Ready for
September lunches.
Gather them, no
Minutes wasting.
Purple is
Delicious tasting.
-- Leland B. Jacobs
This poem evokes school cafeteria dining:
A thousand hairy savages
Sitting down to lunch.
Gobble gobble glup glup
Munch munch munch.
--Spike Milligan

I love those poems. Wouldn't you know it: my kids won't eat grapes.
ReplyDeleteJohn likes to refrigerate his grapes, which makes them less palatable to me. I have to keep a little bunch out for myself. Nummy.
ReplyDeleteM: Who knew grapes could be so challenging to kids? P: My preference for grapes: fermented and bottled.
ReplyDeleteAnd on days like these, rose'd.
