The School Kite Festival
It was windy last Friday
and that was a good thing,
because we in the fifth
had remembered our string.
After classes let out
near the stop for the bus,
the teachers came running
when they heard a great fuss.
All the little ones screamed
as they ran with their packs,
that puffed up and billowed
like kites on their backs.
Then us guys in the fifth
called the “outside invaders”,
we hooked up our strings
and flew some first graders.
