PERSERVERANCE BREEDS SUCCESS Jss One was an insult, I cried Like time should hit full stop, My breakfast was sweet without Salt, My parents tasted like this evil Citrus, I continued to hide like Air Force Was only for my seniors. Jss Two arrived with the wind called Releave I began to breath as an aspiring king Now I believe the race would definitely Finish. Jss Three was the mighty season Everyday had a sweet beginning Suddenly the queen became pretty As boys begin to fill big, Every Sunday I was in the dining hall To clean wasted beans, The brown Khaki now fits my tiny skin. Never did I forget the mighty JSCE. Ss1, trousers became the big deal, I was also a victim for every ss3's Laundry, Morning duty was almost ending, Up keep of the latrine was attached to Me. Inter house games had huge meaning These was the day to show all my special Skills And entice that pretty queen, As we stroll through freedom tree Dangling the box room's key, My sunday wear now had this profound whitish Glimpse. At ss2, I became a commissioned officer I began to predict the whether, Even during holidays, I dreamt of returning To my headquarters, In Jaguar I had two lockers. In Dornier my friends sent invites for Dinner Alpha wasn't my regular signal, She whipped me in basketball finals. I measured my days and wised there Could be an alternative taste But JPE was the key to unlock ss3 dreams. Been a finalist was like magic Today I float on the atlantic As I scream 'ONE BOY' The hostel begins to panic Ariku becomes my transit I trained this special team of bandits So I had a contraband producing factory. The days now had wings Time flew without traffic. My ink recollect's like she was a five Minutes conference meeting, Many couldn't climb this Iroko For sex seasons. Today, am not only an ALUMNI But an harden fresh corrosive lime Ready to swim under river Nile's eye. AFCS is high in the sky With the flying colors that now Leave in my life. KEYWORDS: Jss_ junior secondary SS: Senior secondary Jsce: Junior secondary certificate examination Jpe: Joint promotion examination. Ariku: A small town in Iwo,Ibadan,Nigeria. Khaki: A thick brown material AFCS: Air Force Comprehensive School. HABIB AKEWUSOLA.
