How very well I remember <br />The Second World War <br />And Winston Churchill's Coalition. <br />Parents of grammar school children <br />Seeked assistance with their mission. <br />Education was the Act of the day... <br />School fees were no more, <br />Great news for the poor. <br />The school leaving age was increased, <br />Slightly higher than before. <br />Yes, an important Act calmed all fears <br />During those memorable wartime years. <br /> <br />By Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/education-education/
