As summer fades and the autumn shower
Comes to drive us under cover
Of our beloved school's white roofs
Pelting us with cases, texts and rule proofs
It's indeed hard to believe
Our holidays have been terminated
Tomorrow it's back to - good grief!
Getting our heads lectureminated...
The fun and hustle-bustle of matric week
Silenced abruptly by the onset of classes
The breath crushed out of us - squeek!
Time to don you reading glasses
Tumbleweed rolling around in my brain
The vast unfilled deserts, void of all
Waiting for the water of the knowledge rain
Which in a cycle, empties away in the exam hall
I've forgotten how to use Lawnet already
It's hard to sit down and read any textbook
Whatever that was... IVLE?
I think I'd better go and have a look
Books and books, they line my shelf
The very same shelves emptied in May
I look at them, I look at myself
Oh horrors! whence came they?
And they mutter amongst themselves up there
speaking of this case, that case, where
some guy sues another and the judge
decides that one's wrong and the
other's right, because somehow chocolate fudge
tastes really good in summer
but now its past and we're back
in the dungeon of the spanish inquisition
no time to slack, gotta crack
move move MOVE!
and so school term starts.
Sigh...
