School of Hard Knocks

.
                                         School of hard knocks

                               For most of us that's what we got

                                        School of hard knocks

                            When you're there probably want out
                                   In the middle, one learns alot
                                     Ready for life now to allot

                                       School of hard knocks

Yes, some of us were raised in the "school of hard knocks," Sara, and didn't have a big shock waiting for us when we went out into the real world. Great entry for Dr. Ram's contest. Sending winning wishes to you. Love, Carolyn
