Vacation Resolution Poem By Lenore Hetrick

Kids Going to the Beach

I’m not getting up tomorrow!

Though I hear my mother call,

“Waffles and honey for breakfast!”

I turn my face to the wall,

I’m not getting up though my friends come

Yelling, “ We’re off to the river!”

I’ll just close my eyes and sleep

Without a regretful shiver.

The first day of vacation!

Oh, grand and glorious feeling!

The solid bed beneath me,

Above, the dear old ceiling!

And I won’t get up, I tell you,

To dine with a golden cup.

Not even if the President calls-

Still, I won’t get up.
