This week is the kind of week that you like the best.

Why? Because it's one day shorter than are all the rest.

Friday is a Teacher work day, which really makes me grin.

Because teachers don't do work at all on the days that you're not in.

We start with a big breakfast, so elaborate you would think it a mirage.

Then a spa sends people to our school to give a free massage.

We quickly assign grades to you, based on height and weight.

Everyone has to hurry because they don't want to be late

for the movie that shows in the lunchroom (they bring in a giant screen).

They show us movies that are not out; that NO ONE has ever seen!

They even provide us with snacks and treats - whatever kind we like.

It can be popcorn and soda, or Twizzlers or Mike and Ike's.

When the movie is over, everyone lends a hand.

We have to move everything and set up for the band.

Yes, Teacher Work Day is a party! We all dance and sing.

But don't worry, I still have time to take care of one last thing.

I make up questions for Morning Work as the music is winding down.

And as the band stops playing, we all get out of town,

to continue our rest and relaxation, because even if they call it a "work day,"

teachers are sometimes just like you, we all need time to play!
