Le Poète (The Poet)

Kayla made the mistake of sending me some French homework to print out for her this morning.  We’re not allowed to put stuff on our fridge, so I figure “school.priorfamily.org” is next best thing!

The rough English translation (according to google):

SUMMER WAVES

The warmth of the sun

Beating on the sand

There is a green lemonade

On my desk

Swimmers are

In the blue sea

Carefree

The waves are very large

They rise

And they fall

As the walls of evolving

They roll under the summer sun.

Go Kayla!
