See, Look, Stop and Stare
Watch the sun set slowly
Peer, View, Squint and Glare
Observe the world from Union Square, San Francisco’s one and only
BART and MUNI, crowded mostly
Peek at those nearest, but don’t be nosy
Study your books, Scrutinize them closely
Skim, Scan and don’t get dozy
Take a Glance at yesterday’s test
Or ask your partner, who may know best
Respect your teacher and smile in class
Take it from me, your face says a lot
So Beam with laughter, put on a Grin… even if that joke was funny or not
H. J. Smith, Sept. 2011
