The Attendance Register

 

Monitors absence of the girls and boys,

Miss Small holds the register in her hands.

Absence from school should not be a kid's choice.

 

When the children are absent it annoys

Miss Small - and each of them in trouble lands.

Monitors absence of the girls and boys.

 

Children having fun make a lot of noise

The kids pretend they are rock-stars in bands.

Absence from school should not be a kid's choice.

 

She makes them do work, silencing their voice

Checking to see how their attendance stands.

Monitors absence of the girls and boys.

 

Miss Small makes sure they don't excuses poise

Nor claim the dentist was checking their glands.

Absence from school should not be a kid's choice.

 

The kids should at school their presence rejoice

Such as when the kids play game in the sands.

Monitors absence of the girls and boys.

Absence from school should not be a kid's choice.
