The Perfect Poem : Best Days of Your Life
every tap and scratch of chalk upon the blackboard
every tick tock tick tock of the classroom clock
every bored yawn, restless fidget, impatient sigh
these were...
every reprimand for running, telling off for not
every hymn sung, register taken, detention served
every hundred lines, six of the best, clipped ear
the best...
every white tache and bubble in our cartons of milk
every sly drag of make you feel older playground ***
every conker conquered, knee graze, girl kiss-chased
days of...
every seven times table, count to fifty, crossed fingers
every love letter, Valentines card, flash of knickers
every muddy shoe, inky shirt, nasty rumour
your life...
every period of logarithms, Shakespeare, cookery
every rustle of sweet wrapper, cough, drop of pencil
every excruciating scrape of chair at lesson’s end
these were, these were, these were...
