First Day In a New School

Ok keep below the radar, stay out of sight, Bury your head in the sand, do not incite, Why get involved, it’s not your fight, Zip up your mouth, should be alright. Rise above them, turn the other cheek, Play It real cool, no trouble you seek, Come on dad, they’ll think I’m a geek, I want to look strong, not appear weak. Oh I see! so you want to act tough, Look like your made, from real hard stuff, Grind your teeth, Want to play rough, What if they decide, to call your bluff. Better be able, to swallow your pride, Eat humble pie, then go take a ride, Don’t want to be like, a little girl guide, Run home to mummy, or go and hide. I won’t be bullied, I’ll stand my ground, I’m not going to get pushed around, Face the music, go round for round, Whoa there kid, it’s courage you found, Got more balls than me, her dad frowned.
