The Crossing Guard who’s at my school
Is quite a crank but keeps his cool
Governs streets with strictest rules
Protects us from the four-wheeled fools
Each morning he is sure to say
To each of us, “Be safe today!
And nod of head is what we get
No matter if it’s dry or wet
He’s on the corner, rain or shine
Grateful that he’s there each time
To guide us safely cross the street
Sign held high till task complete
It might seem simple, almost needless
Crossing street, ‘cept drivers heedless
Even with a school nearby
A careless car too fast will fly
And like a top that wildly spins
They’d knock us down like bowling pins
We’d rather be a bit too cautious
Than in street all dead and lifeless
So please slow down and watch for us
Never pass discharging bus
Saving time’s not worth the loss
Of kids that simply want to cross…
