School is out,
"Hurray!" Kids shout.
Forget about academic acceleration,
Time to enjoy summer vacation.
Take long naps
as thunder claps;
Block out noises and ashes
when lightening flashes;
Clear your browse history,
Delete everything,
both satisfactory and unsatisfactory;
Stop using the printer,
Restart your computer...
As you unlearn the world,
You've become a child.

this extols the joys of childhood
Ah, childhood. Good advice, Jingle. Sometimes it is necessary to unplug and "unlearn the world."
Ji, you always know how to brighten up our days.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a wonderful week ahead! ;-)
This was fun to read. Who doesn't have memories of summer vacations?
Jingle,
What a very happy and uplifting poem!
Always a pleasure to visit your very cheerful blog page.
Best wishes, Eileen
Nice way of putting it, to be free, like a child and not be what society tells us to be :) enjoy the potluck!!!

I love the idea, the title, and the last two lines.
Yup, there's a lesson in there for us all. Great idea, well realised.

Hurray,
Summer vacation. Kids in the pink. Couldn't be more perfect, Ji. Nice! Lovely illustrations too as always.
Loved this... there is nothing better than summer vacation! I remeber having lots and lots of adventures!

Might be tough for some kids to leave behind the internet for a while. I think that is quite entrench in their lives now, not just for school but a part of their social activity.
A very cheerful poem and I love the last two lines too.

Hello! Sorry for the late response. Thank you for stopping by! I really do appreciate your taking the time to leave a comment...I read each and everyone of them. I hope your day is a good one and that you will come back again soon. Take care. Nelson Souzza :)
i love this. children know so much about life. i have to find wise people to remind me what life is all about, as the world has diseased me down and i, embarrassingly, seem to need reminders. children don't, and i'm really keying into this as i grow closer to my little nieces and nephews. they have their priorities in order, mostly having to do with enjoying themselves as much as they can, and being fair, or at least their version of fair:)
after all the back-to-school energy going, this reminded me warmly of how summer began:)
