Mornings never such as dull,
although the sun shone bright at my ass.
Mummy recklessly smacked my skull,
To force me out of my lovely nest.

Today marks the first day of school,
Mother made a most delightful breakfast for a start.
However going to school would never be cool,
No one's gonna make me cakes and tarts.

I remember getting lost for there were too many doors.
I cried and screamed and shrieked and kicked.
And even end up banging the wall,
Then i was told im no longer a kid.

What's for lunch and how many pennies they need?
Can i have my milo dinosaur with lots of ice?
No one was with me at my seat,
No one was trying to be nice.

The nasty monsieur tells me i can't read,
and hit me on my knuckles it swelled up red.
Who was he? Neither kith nor kin!
Mummy, i can't wait to escape!
