"REMEMBERING OUR SCHOOLDAYS"
By John Anthony Elliott ©26/8/2015 revised 2023
Remembering our schooldays,
And the things we did back then,
The scratchy nibs and inkwells,
Cos we hadn’t got a pen.
The chalk and the rubber,
That was launched across the class,
The throwing of a bible,
That broke a window’s glass.
Smoking in the toilets,
Got you the dreaded cane,
Smooching in the bike-shed,
To keep you from the rain.
Spotted dick for pudding,
With seconds on the way,
Meat and two veg for diner,
All served on a tray.
Woodwork’s a disaster,
The stool I made was crap,
The wood I used had woodworm,
And the knots were weeping sap.
We didn’t wear a uniform,
A blazer or a tie,
Jeans for the boys,
Girls skirt’s were way too high.
Girls PE pants were useless,
Always falling down,
The field we used was muddy,
And way across the town.
Yes remembering our schooldays,
And the friends we had back then,
Memories of times long past,
My memories from way back then.
