Franklin Elementary School
In nineteen sixty-two I went
To Franklin School each day.
The back side field is where I spent
Much time in recess play.
A regular first grade small kid,
I had a friend or two,
But only school friends since I hid
Anxiety so true.
The next five years were much the same.
And teachers saw my fear,
But only one was glad I came
My Mrs. Parmentier!
