National Poetry Day,
Was hectic in every way,
I was invited into a school
To rhyme and write and play.

I love being a part of the funeverse, especially when I get invited into a school to work with their classes as part of National Poetry Day.
St. Mary Magdalen's in Penwortham did just that and I was able to work with every class from Reception up to Year 6 both performing and writing poems, just for fun.
