Back to School in The Bahamas
Summer's sun has set, the days of fun now gone,
Laughter on the beaches, games from dusk till dawn.
The time has come to buckle down, to learn and to grow,
To pack away the sandcastles and let the school bell toll.
The hustle in the streets as parents rush to buy,
Books and pens and pencils, school supplies piled high.
New bags for their shoulders, geometry sets in hand,
Prepared to fill their minds with knowledge vast and grand.
New uniforms are tried on, crisp and freshly pressed,
Shoes polished to a shine, ready for their best.
Boys sit for fresh haircuts, girls with hairstyles and grins,
Each one feeling ready as the new school year begins.
