Stop Watch

"Ms. Curtis, can I go to the bathroom?"
is a question that I hear quite often
yet I know that they never come back soon
a ten minute break or so is common

So one day with me, I brought a stop watch
so I could time how long the kids were gone
but today we kicked the watch up a notch
as I won this battle with brains not brawn

The first kid I timed just as usual
but I shared with the class his sprint like pace
and though it may be a bit juvenile,
each trip to the bathroom became a race

And while this activity was quite fun
all the long bathroom breaks were also done!
