Dedicated to all those poor innocent students who dread the First of September

Summer has come and passed,
The vacation can never last;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Leaving behind all the fun en masse--
Seventy days have gone so fast.
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Here we go back to school again,
Trudging through the halls.
Sitting at our desks again,
Getting bored out of our skulls.

As my attention rests,
My mind goes back to what I've lost;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Summer has come and passed,
The vacation can never last;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Ring out the bells again,
Signalling that the end began;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Here we go back to school again,
Trudging through the halls.
Sitting at our desks again,
Getting bored out of our skulls.

As my attention rests,
My mind goes back to what I've lost;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Summer has come and passed,
The vacation can never last;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Leaving behind all the fun en masse;
Nine more more moths--alack! alas!
Wake me up when the school year ends.
Wake me up when the school year ends.
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Half Pint
A policeman in Salford, England, spotted a car running at 70 mph in a 30 mph residential area and gave chase. In addition to the speeding, the driver was going the wrong way, in the dark without lights, and drunk (.050 percent vs a legal limit of .035). He was also just 13 years old, and police caught him when he lost control and crashed. District Judge Jonathon Finestein sentenced the boy to four months in custody, plus a driving ban for four years — to start when he becomes eligible for a driver’s license. Judge Finestein, citing the “exceptional” nature of the case, allowed newspapers to report the boy’s identity despite his age: Jon Smee. (London Guardian) ...An obvious deterrent — that will keep it from ever happening with someone that young again.
