Ashburton School Memories and Lies

you gave me assuredity
you're more than a building
you're a memory
you conjured a spell
each teacher worthy fitting
quality in those days

Later I learned I was deemed opinionated
Jackie Letts in a School Reunion
a quarter of a century said so
I question the reliability of memory


Obviously we have a different account
I was a near to do
only one GCE
swimming in a sea of CSE's
in the middling classes
but I wasn't amongst the dyslexics
maybe I had been cured
like a herring
