That was a beautiful piece of imagination and but for the title would have left me wondering what happened? Beautiful narration

Oh....okay I got it. The title answered the question I had. Good poem and I must say You sure have a lot of energy to keep writing. I wish I could say this. My thoughts are blank it seems and I am starting to believe that the same thing that allows us to read each others writing and communicate with people all over the world is at least in part responsible for the dullness that lives in my head. Too much information is more than I can handle perhaps. I have not been able to write any new poems for over a year now. I had forgotten about my writing until one of my poems was listed as member poem of the day.and I received more comments this year than I have received for the last three years since they first listed it as poem of the day. It was a surprise. I wish I had the energy you have and I think it is time to limit my internet use and let my thoughts clear out. It may be that I have become too jaded to write anything worth posting.It's good to see you still writing. I hope you are doing well.Keep up the good work.

A joy to read, for this former teacher this is a familiar topic! I love the line about grandpa who Got his wits from that there moon... A well constructed poem telling a story of the ideal way to avoid a test!

Wow Adeline, this poem is amazing. I so enjoyed reading every verse. Every child should read this poem - I shall share it with my friends on facebook. You have a fantastic imagination. I feel inspired to let my own imagination run more freely now. Thank you for helping my writing. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of your poems.

Thanks for the comment Patricia. Yes poor boys, a mighty long break they didn't have. They were back the next morning. Adeline

I really enjoyed reading your poem. Sounds like a long trek on playing hooky to get away from the books. The moon played some tricks on them instead. A mighty long break they had. Nicely written.

............loved reading this one.....wonderful flow......wish I could write a poem as nice as this one....adding to my poem collection....

A wonderfully beauteous poem. Bien!
