The last week of teaching's beginning today.
The current semester's almost passed away.
Exams will soon happen; then students will play,
For the last week of teaching's beginning today.
The hard work of grading is going away.
In research and writing I will spend the day
Instead of planning that soon goes astray,
For the last week of teaching's beginning today.
It's odd to be happy, as some folks may say,
To see that the class-work is going away,
But why not be happy? The work doesn't pay.
O! The last week of teaching's beginning today.
The last week of teaching's beginning today.
It will not be students that fill up the day
But comfort and rest, and so say "Hooray!
The last week of teaching's beginning today!"

So, I take it that you're happy that the last week of teaching began today. Too bad the happiness can't stay.
ReplyDeleteOh, no, the happiness cannot long stay.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, all too soon, it will go away,
But while it is here, I'm going to play.
The last week of teaching got started today.
