A flashback on School Life

My flashback on school life - hope you guys like it

In neatly starched uniforms and polished shoes we came
To school every morning without an excuse lame

The morning assembly would be to thank the Almighty
For giving us this pretty world and all things aplenty

At the ring of the bell our periods would alter
A quick whisper before the next teacher enters

For the interval our hungry stomachs waited
Gobbled up our fare, until we felt satiated

For the lolly to the canteen we rushed
If we clamoured for it we were hushed

Forever wished our intervals were much longer
So that in the corridors we could linger

But study is what we gotta do
So out come the books and pencil too

The Games period is what everyone sought
Why not have two of them everyone thought

But after the Games is the History test
Memorised the dates and wars to our best

But oh! we garbled it all up during the exam
Would surely get a shouting from the ma'am

With a caper we went to the Library
This period was the best coz we were weary

After a hard day's work at the school
Reading our pet books would be so cool

The school bell rang loud and clear
And everyone grinned ear to ear

Because to our houses we all loved to go
With our bags and the water-bottles in tow

Only to come back the next day
To study, write, read, chatter and play

This was one of those typical school days
After that we went our different ways

School reunions is now when we gather
And love to see our school-mates prosper

In their chosen fields they worked sincerely
And got rewarded for it abundantly

That is the reason we have never forgot
Our school days because learning is what they brought

Gift-wrapped in studying, playing, reading and fun
Those sweet memories are second to none
