Like elephants we stampede
The room
The unzipping of ice cold lunchboxes
Brown paper bags being searched
For grateful goodies
Happy hungry hooligans
Get in line for Rectangle pizza
As Early morning frowns turn upside down
Out of school emotion flourishes
Haggling begins as an apple is traded for a peach
A brownie for a pudding
Loud conversations
Quiet rumors

The author's comments:
Just the simplicity of lunchtime during elemtry school
