Well, can you keep the boys quiet for the moment Mr Smith
Yes I know they want to raise the roof
At least let us get it fitted first
As I believe is the term
Yes I know the rain is coming in
But the boilers are fightin back
Yes I know the steam is coming through
Our computer controls they hacked
I know the organ pipes have gone
I'd hoped we perservere
There is enough wind in these lads
To put the world in fear
I know they are all in their shorts
To keep the heat down
No I didn't give the green shampoo around
I just wanted
On the eve of term
To manage just one speech
Without my fears confirmed
But so I must and with these words
Welcome you to go
And please bring back the bricks this time
I have nowhere else to go

Dave, I enjoyed reading this poem. I
could almost see the school room with
the kids and the mischief in their eyes.
