School's In

Having lived in the countryside I attended a country school my pre school years were solo living in farm cottage quiet as a rule Not many children around the place mostly played myself on my own which helped for having stammer didn't like talking especially the phone So school was on the horizon the thought filled me with fear this tongue of mine won't cope wish I was still only a year So the day arrived off I went school was in and so was I in primary one all sitting down but thinking to myself all is nigh Miss Davidson was a lovely lady went round the class asking our name when it came my turn I just froze after countless attempts name eventually came Rest of day speech continued to struggle another ten years of this battle to be fought not a pleasant thought to consider but well nothing else for it this is my lot
