Vacation Timekeeping
by
Greg Pincus
Time flies on school vacation!
Up 'til now I'd found that true.
But this time 'round, I have to say,
I found that my time flu.
Just for the record, this poem is (thankfully) not autobiographical. It's just some silliness, I tell ya!

Greg, I found your poem to be light and charming. Thankfully, it was not autobiographical but I am sure it would resonant with many a child who is afflicted by the winter flu.
Thanks for the giggle, Greg. Glad it's not autobiographical.
I love a good pun. Thanks, Greg! (Glad you're not sick.)
Too funny! So glad it is not true - the flu is the worst no matter when you get it. Happy New Year! =)
Yeah, I can relate. I didn't get the full-on flu, but I did contract a virus that is holding on for the FOURTH week! I just can't shake the cough and drainage. Ugh.
But your poem made me laugh!!
Greg, I love the twist in your poem!Right before winter break, we had a lot of kids and staff out with the flu. So my students will surely relate to your poem! I have been fortunate not to get it YET, and I hope my luck continues.
Fun!
Glad your time didn't flu! I hear a lot of folks did.
Yes, sir. Me, too! I flu.
