“September Calendar,” Friend, Sept. 1971, 25
September Calendar
The leaves begin to turn;
We go barefoot no more;
September breezes whisper
“School is at our door.”
Telling Time at School
We have been learning
The way to tell time,
Even when using
A clock with no chime.
The smaller hand tells us
Which hour we mean.
The larger one shows
The minutes between.
