Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Boarding School

Wipe that smile off your face boy
What have you got to he happy about 
Are you simple child?

No Sir
I am leaving
And I am simply expressing 

Joy 
Because what I have been taught 
Is to Rebel is to Annoy 

Farewell 
I survived Hell

Silent One December 22, 2017 at 4:57 AM I dont understand why parents send children to boarding school.. surely that is not being a parent! Hope you are well my friend.. Christopher Flaherty December 26, 2017 at 5:29 PM I am well ta my friend. Happy Festive Seasonal Greetings. Agree if you don't want kids or want to look after them. Simple don't have them in the 1st place get a Pet instead

Arturo Michael December 21, 2017 at 6:14 PM I went through a few years of that...Yes, you survived Hell on earth...All the best Christopher Flaherty December 26, 2017 at 5:20 PM Cheers Arturo Glad to heat you came through it unscathed. You can see why so many Politicians went to Boarding School. They want to impart power and misery on other poor soul's

People with Rose tinted glasses or Dick heads you hated going to school who took the puss out of you. Don't think kid's of today understand or could up with the abuse we had to suffer
