Cause I Ain't Got a Pencil
I woke myself up
Because we ain't got an alarm clock
Dug in the dirty clothes basket,
Cause ain't nobody washed my uniform
Brushed my hair and teeth in the dark,
Cause the lights ain't on
Even got my baby sister ready,
Cause my mama wasn't home.
Got us both to school on time,
To eat us a good breakfast.
Then when I got to class the teacher fussed
Cause I ain't got no pencil.

This is tax deductible!
20 bucks fills a pencil pouch
50 bucks fills a backpack
100 bucks fills backpacks for 2 siblings
300 bucks buys a chrome book computer
1500.00 supplies a school for a year.
5K stuffs an entire school bus - the long ones not the short ones.
