I Hate School

I HATE SCHOOL What did you do at school my son? Was your day a happy one? Did you get some good work done? Did you have a lot of fun At lunchtime, playing in the sun? No, it wasn’t as it ought to be. First I tripped and grazed my knee And Matron had to bandage me. While all the children laughed with glee. I didn’t like the lunch today But everybody must obey The rules and eat it come what may. And then I spelt a word wrong on the board And again they laughed with one accord. All-in-all, the day was a disaster. So, right from when the day had begun, I hated every hour, you see. There was no sun, the sky was grey. I’d like to give up school, Oh Lord. What a shame that I’m Headmaster. 11th April 2020 Minuanetta Poems contest Sponsor - Emile Pinet
