It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Homeschool - A Parody

In the midst of cleaning and organizing our poor dining room (which doubles as the homeschool room), I began humming a tune in my head (as per usual), and pretty soon "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" tumbled out (because I'm in the Christmas spirit already, apparently).  And since I was in the middle of organizing homeschool books 'n' things - well, here's what I ended up with.  Just you try not to sing it.  LOL

Enjoy!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Homeschool
    A Parody
        by Me

It’s beginning to look a lot like homeschool
Everywhere you go.
Take a look in the dining room;
Workbooks and pencils, too,
With books and timers, computers aglow.


It’s beginning to look a lot like homeschool -
Toys in every room.
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the whiteboard that will be
In the dining room.


A game that teaches you math
And the textbook of wrath
Are the bane of Lizzy and Drew.


Penmanship, grammar,
And studies of war
Are the woe of Abby and Ruth.


And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.


It’s beginning to look a lot like homeschool
Everywhere you go.
There’s a clock on the dining wall,
One in the hall, as well -
The sturdy kind that make you think to know.


It’s beginning to look a lot like homeschool.
Soon the fun will start!
And the coziness of the home
Is the way the learning comes
Right within our hearts!
