Back to You-Know-What

*sigh* I started school today. Another summer come and gone. Well, at least I feel like I accomplished more this summer than last.

The following unashamed rip-off song that I penned at the end of last summer pretty much sums-up my feelings on this subject.

I'll Go to School

Tune of "I'll Fly Away"

Some dark morning when the summer's over I'll go to school

To a place where homework never ends, I'll go to school

I'll go to school, oh phooey, I'll go to school

When summer dies and all the children cry, I'll go to school

When the shadows of the seasons lengthen, I'll go to school

Like a bird stuck in prison bars, I'll go to school

[Chorus]

Oh how sad and gloomy when we part, I'll go to school

Books and homework shackled to my back, I'll go to school

[Chorus]

Just a few more happy days and then, I'll go to school

To a land where the work will never end, I'll go to school

[Chorus]

There you have it. My short career in parody songwriting and my thoughts on the end of summer all in one song. Yeah, it's terrible. I kinda ran out of ideas towards the end there and the whole song is really repetitive. And school won't be that bad--it never is. I may post some of my serious work sometime though. Be assuaged; it isn't anything like this.
