~poem~ Back 2 School

No medals for guessing the inspiration for this one!

It' not easy being a teenager - like any transitional phase of life.

Back to School By Charnjit

Back to school Back to routines Back to "no wearing jewellry or jeans" Up up up at the crack of dawn No time to even fit in a yawn Fall out of bed And into clothes No no, sorry UNI-FORM We must conform To be the norm (Whatever that is) Timetable? Check Link Book? Check Keys, card, phone? Check, checkity check Pencil, pen, protractor, ruler Oh for the days of Ferris Bueller Out the door and on the bus Chauffeur driven? Don't be such a wuss! Man up, get up, stand up OK, OK, I'm being too tough Public transport can be pretty rough But if you can master it, you're made of strong stuff Stronger than even the Billy Goat's Gruff So we made it through The public slew Only to face another race Race to be on time AND in the right place PUNC-TU-AL-ITY ATTEND-ANCE ACTIVELY ENGAGED GET IT? GOT IT? GOOD!!! Making sure your attention does not lessen Before, during and after each and every lesson Six hours later and then you're done Back on the bus Wonder if it's the same one? Get home, yay I made it in one piece Another day done, I put on my fleece "How was your day?" Fine "What did you do?" Stuff They think we're being gruff But really we've just had enough Oh what a day Must balance work with play My favourite game online Non-stop 'til nine Then it's time for bed 'though I'm no sleepy head Gaming characters run through my mind Dreaming of others that I can find Aaahhh.... just beginning to unwind And it's up up up at the crack of dawn No time to even fit in a yawn...........
