SCHOOL
DAYS
WHEN
!
WAS
YOUNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember school days when I was
young

And school was in no way fun

The halls of horror

And all the teachers misleading rules

Why do you even bother to come to
school

You poor little misguided fool.

You can’t even remember the simplest
of rules

The teachers who didn’t seem to care

I felt right there that schooling was
totally unfair

But now that | have grown

Have children of my own

I want to go back to school

Do | dare!

Are teachers still unfair?

Or with any luck will they listen with
open ears

To wash away all the childhood fears

With open eyes and to my surprise

Guess what?

lam here

I am learning all those rules

Jam not that misguided fool

The teachers here listen with open ears

These teachers really care

And to my surprise we even learn and
have some

lam glad I came back to school
Douglas College with its open rules
Surprise yourself come back to school.
