These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Rondeau: "Aftermath"

“It’s after Math,” our Science we're told.
We learn great truths, that make us bold.
Our History doth make us wise
to learn from battles of great size,
we pan for nuggets of pure gold.

In Phys. Ed. we are hot 'til cold.
In English "bells" for us are "tolled."
Of lessons learned we shan't despise
its aftermath.

Fair lunches as our meals are sold.
When talking teachers oft do scold.
Free evenings are our final prize
when three o'clock all cheers and cries,
the Science homework now we hold.
It's after Math.
