Big ears! he shouted and ran away

Stuck out his tongue, pulled my hair all day

And made me cry

*

Hey, is your Ellie playing out, Mrs Jones?

We broke a window throwing stones

And never got found out

*

Billy’s got a girlfriend! his mates all cried

No I bloody haven’t! She’s a liar. Ellie lied!

But we held hands later

He kissed me in the darkness, hand on my knee

Till the moon went down

Lover, Billy sighs in the back of his car,

I have to get home. Hey! Don’t forget your knickers!

The school has gone from strength to strength

A vote of thanks must go to Mrs Davies

She’s retired. It’s a celebration
