I remember my first days at school <br />How the building seemed so big <br />I remember where I hung my coat <br />By the picture of a pig <br /> <br />I remember our headmistress <br />Her face was sprouting hair <br />I remember I was always told <br />Not to look it’s rude to stare <br /> <br />I remember all the screaming <br />From the children how they cried <br />I remember double swinging doors <br />That seemed so very wide <br /> <br />I remember in the sandpit <br />Pouring water-making slush <br />I remember teacher telling us <br />Let’s have a little hush <br /> <br />I remember cold school dinners <br />How the dinner ladies shout <br />I remember most of all I think <br />When they told us school was out <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/5-a-new-school/
