Meltdown Fridays

It began with a 5am rain,
Followed by a whole lot of pain,

Hysterical sobs, announcing that school is hard,
And in general that the soul is charred,

Just kidding, I doubt a 6 year old understands what a soul is,
His tears in the meantime, continued to brim and fizz,

Hands dramatically folded,
Along with his legs nicely moulded,

I gave in quite quickly to his request,
Putting his mind to rest,

School is hard, I agreed,
Sometimes in life, we need the opposite of speed,

If slow Friday's are what your 6 year old desires,
Just give in and don't put his or her heart on a pyre,

Let them be,
Happy and free.
