POEM: Spring Break!
This was done for the CPC Thematic Attic Thursday. Hosts Bettie and Diane are wanting writes about Spring breaks past. Since I could not remember ever doing anything very interesting on any of mine, I punted. We are doing song lyric writes and rewrites on April showers on this week’s Friday Fling. Spring break made me think of “school’s out” and that made me think of the old Alice Cooper song. So I rewrote the lyrics with a Spring break theme.
Spring Break!
To the tune “School’s out!” by Alice Cooper
Can’t pick and choose ’em,
like sewin’ a hem.
Can’t take or leave ’em,
like plannin’ your REM
They’re built into the sked.
Vacation time’s set
by some egghead’s
time sublet.
Spring break is startin’
Time out for piggin’.
Yoo Hoo, Reese’s Pieces.
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher’s dirty looks
Well we got no class,
and we got no principles,
and we got no innocence.
But we’re good at double entendres.
School’s out for Spring break.
School’s out till next week.
All brainwashing ceases.
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher’s dirty looks
Out for this week,
then go back.
Souvenirs in your backpack.
Time out for piggin’.
Spring break is startin’.
Catch some Spring fever.
Veg out completely.

The original lyrics to “School’s Out”:
Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin all that noise
‘Cause they found new toys
Well we can’t salute ya
Can’t find a flag
If that don’t suit ya
That’s a drag
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever
School’s been blown to pieces.
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher’s dirty looks
Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can’t even think of a word that rhymes
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever
School’s been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher’s dirty looks
Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not go back at all
School’s out forever
School’s out for summer
School’s out with fever
School’s out completely
