Boarding school is a place,
a place where kids and teens come.
It's a place of major rules
and then some.
...

Parents are people
who take us to the steeple.
Every Sunday morning,
they make us pray with the people.
...

Childhood is a time elderly cherish
but little toddlers hate
because of their mothers yelling,
'Come on! For school you'll be late.'
...

Sharks and dinosaurs, they are my world.
I would like to be around as their secrets unfurl.

I know they lived centuries ago,
...

Tutors are teachers
and people too
who listen to secrets
which come out of the blue.
...

Prefects are people
who boss kids around.
Even if we say a word,
they always break into a frown.
...

'God oh God! ',
today's people pray.
As their lives are made miserable
by the price they don't pay.
...

Grandfathers are people;
the fathers of our fathers.
They love to tell stories
of our nations martyrs.
...

Sisters are girls
who stick to their brothers.
Their job is to annoy;
us as well as others.
...

P.T. is an activity
all kids dread.
When it gets over,
their bones are like lead.
...

Toye is a word
which ends with an 'e'.
When it begins,
all kids want to flee.
...

Brothers and sisters are family,
bound by God with love.
It is a bind not broken,
even by Death's shove.
...

Alone

It is, and very truly so, said
That every star in the sky is a soul of the dead.
...

Love is a silly thing.
Some say it's everything.

I say it's worthless and useless.
...

Friendship in the name
is a ship of friends
who always fight
but make amends in the end.
...

Reading is a hobby
to be done in a lobby.
Some find it to be boring,
but book worms think it adoring.
...

Friends are people
who always fight
but with a bond so special,
they can defeat any might.
...

Teachers and peers
are a child's worst fears.
All they do is teach
and ban us from the beach.
...

Seven lands of seven seas
rule the world together.
Each of their youth will decide
what is our destiny forever.
...

Grumbling in anger, I sat on my desk,
wondering how I got into this mess.

Two months of holidays had passed long ago,
