The School Kite Festival

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.

The little ones screamed
as they ran with their packs,
that puffed out and billowed
like kites on their backs.

Then us guys in the fifth
called the “outside invaders”,
hooked up our strings
and flew some first graders.

Thanks all...

BULLY you say, eh Tiger? I would rather think that first graders would enjoy a bit of flying (maybe not landing, though).

In real life, I was usually on the receiving end of childhood "torture", being one of seven brothers.
