Our Parents Are Planning a Party

Our Parents Are Planning a Party by Kenn Nesbitt

Our parents are planning a party,
a feast for their neighbors and friends.
They’re having a big celebration
as soon as the summertime ends.

Our parents are planning a party.
It’s one that they have every year.
My siblings and I always miss it.
They plan it for when we’re not here.

Our parents are planning a party.
We think it’s a little bit cruel
that they always throw a big party
the day that we go back to school.
