| Headmasters they have turkey, The teachers they have duck, The prefects they have salad and think they are in luck. The seniors they have bacon and sometimes they have ham. But all that's left for poor old us, is only bread and jam. |

Thoughts |
| How soon the shades of evening come and go And night falls o'er the sleeping countryside. The nightingale sings from his shady tree, Contrasting with the solemn cry of owls. I lie and listen to their haunting song, And dream the dreams, which never can come true, Of things I've missed, and which have passed me by, I wish I'd known the life that was for me, And taken chances as they came my way. |
