The School

         

In the School of Life

Don’t bother putting on smart clothes

Because we’re going to that special table

The one in the corner with more paints , and mess

And kinder teachers .

We are the Grey Remedials

And we need a bit of colour

Daubed all over us to make us humble

And more kindness

Daubed all over us when we take a tumble

We’re slow learners at best .

There are Some People on the other tables

Pretending to learn more important things,

They don’t need the paints

Or the kindness

And they hate the mess.

They’re in real trouble

And insecure as hell,

Pity

They’d enjoy the paints

And the kind teachers

In the University of Life …….

there’s no verse for that 

nobody got in
