Nap

I am five
Lying on an
Unrolled reed mat
In kindergarten peering
About not yet aware nap time
Is really for our teacher who sits
At her desk with her head resting
On her arm dozing while we kids
Nap having been fed juice and
Graham crackers first then we
Roll out our nap mats but the
Problem I am resolving is a
Logistical one as I have a
Three ounce bladder limit
And just drank four or
So ounces of orange
Juice so I silently
Rise walk to the
Restroom pee
And lie down
On my mat.
It occurs
To me
Teachers
Are not always
Aware of what is
Happening in their
Class so hours later
As school ends I scurry
For the door but teacher
Stops me and whispers in
My ear that it is always OK
To use the restroom in need
Even without a teacher’s
Consent and I realize
Teachers are more
Sneaky than they
Appear as any
Faculty are
Aware.
Years later
At a faculty party
I am asked by a young
Lady what is the best come
On line I ever used and my
Reply is, do you feel like
Going someplace
Quiet and have
Some juice
And
Graham
Crackers?
