Couldn't wait to get out back then,
with all the ones telling you to get out and come in.
But it's kind of sad when that day does come,
and you find you miss all of that hum drum.
Oh how they would sneak ketchup
from the cafeteria
and place it under the toilet lid so sly,
And stand outside the bathroom door
and laugh till they cried.
When the girls would come out
and have a ketchup stain,
and yell hey Missy is it that time
of the month again?
Oh my goodness the things they would do
to keep you from being a moocher,
our school has classes to predict the future.
To keep you off the street ,a jobless loser.
As you grow you find out one day,
those toes you stepped on
becomes your boss along the way.
How does the teachers keep from going mad,
the pranks we pulled some were really bad.
Like loosening the bolt in Mr Nance's chair,
and how back in our days he handled
a home made paddle with such flair.
I miss those old days and the class clowns,
and how the style even today seemed
to come back around.
We all felt it was a time only we would share,
until we become adults
and find it happened everywhere.

I hope your school was taught to care for one another and nop child left behind for often that one child only needed one true friend and I hope their was one there that showed kindness for all
