Waiting for Lunch

My stomach is empty.

I’m waiting for lunch – 

a sandwich, some crisps

and an apple to munch. 

I’ve opened my book

but my brain’s feeling dense;

the words and the numbers

are not making sense.

The clock isn’t moving.

My tummy is growling.

The lesson is boring.

My insides are howling.

 

I wish I could eat

and then play on the grass!

I guess I’ll just have to 

keep teaching my class.
