Who Doesn’t Love Mondays?

Who doesn't love Mondays
When I’m in a lovely classroom
On this cool, still-summer day?
When the frost-kissed grass has dried
And screaming seagulls hover overhead
And dive for the ground in full speed
As if to chase shrieking children
And snatch their crackers and cheese, cookies,
Carrot and cucumber sticks, potato chips,
Apples and oranges, chocolate-coated pretzels,
Granola bars, bananas, grapes or M&M’s?

(Well, would you blame these scavenger thieves,
Like screeching acrobats in the summer skies,
Floating in mid-air, like kids riding scooters,
When the days are getting shorter, and in winter,
No kid would be outdoor snackin’?)
