it simply happened one day
when the teachers decided
enough was enough
all the boys with OCD
spent the day playing drums
or riding their bicycles
and the introverts sat quietly
smiling periodically in the corners
while the extroverts laughed and laughed
and soon the pleasures became many
as varied as the children themselves
until one day a child stood to proclaim
after reading Hamlet all on her own
“I say, we will have no more tests”
to which there was thunderous cheering
yes it seemed simple and obvious enough
the founding of the kindness school
with open doors and children singing
