Bygone Days

In faded jeans and a knotted blouse 
 I would go out of the house 
 Although I loved skirts but were not allowed 
It was maintained that too much of legs they showed 
 Clutching a notebook n a book 
 In a fancy bag I would go n hang it on a hook 
 Talk to friends which lecture to attend 
 There was always one who would make ammend 
 The lectures began ,we the back benchers 
 Always had fun n planned adventures 
 Felt tired after two lectures so would decide 
 To go to the snack bar n found pleasure reside 
 After the third period got over 
 To classes we would hover 
 After the fourth lecture got over 
 Distance to one of the friends  house we would cover 
we wondered why parents n  teachers
always found shortcomings n became preachers
 Having had our fill of chit chatting 
 some went dating
 most of us would  disperse 
 Wait for another day to immerse. 
And yet another to emerge.

Those were the days. Seems we look back with rose colored glasses.
