Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

School's In

Having lived in the countryside
I attended a country school
my pre school years were solo
living in farm cottage quiet as a rule

Not many children around the place
mostly played myself on my own
which helped for having stammer
didn't like talking especially the phone

So school was on the horizon
the thought filled me with fear
this tongue of mine won't cope
wish I was still only a year

So the day arrived off I went
school was in and so was I
in primary one all sitting down
but thinking to myself all is nigh

Miss Davidson was a lovely lady
went round the class asking our name
when it came my turn I just froze
after countless attempts name eventually came

Rest of day speech continued to struggle
another ten years of this battle to be fought
not a pleasant thought to consider
but well  nothing else for it this is my lot
