I have some very bad news for you - so bad I can barely speak.

You don't have school again for two entire weeks!

What will you do? Will you feel lost, bored, depressed, and blue?

Well, GET OVER IT! It's not always just about you!

What about poor old Mr. Mac? Did you ever think of that?

With no students in my face, who will I yell at?

I've tried yelling at the neighbors, but they sic their dog on me.

And when I scream at strangers, they turn around and flee.

Don't suggest I yell at my wife, that will NEVER do.

She has her very own scalpel (which she knows how to use).

Last break, I tried shouting at our plants and trees,

but they didn't like it either, and all threatened to leave.

I guess I'll do what I always do when you're not around.

I'll take all my frustrations and push them way, deep down

into the dark recesses of my soul, where they build and grow.

After two weeks of irritations, I'll be ready to explode!

When I've almost reached my limit and I'm near a heart attack,

January 3 will be here, and you will all be back!
