New blazers hang smartly upon the wardrobe door, inside
you’ll find shirts so white and crisp and there’s more,
Black trousers with creases so precise and so sharp, ties that
once mastered, will make the wearer look smart.
New socks neatly tucked one into another, shoes buffed to perfection,
all thanks to mother.
P.E bags kitted out for every sport within reason, rugby,
football, athletics even the cricket season.
Pencil case bursting with writing and artistic supplies.
Mathematical equipment
for geometry, algebra and Pi.
Science overall and apron packed in new pristine rucksack,
To be placed in a
locker and homework bought back.
All labelled by mum with much love and great care,
With hope at the end
of term, it will all still be there.
So here’s to your first day, look after your things
Be good, do your best and enjoy everything
And if you’re tempted at all to be careless with your stuff,
Just recall how much it all cost us,
Good gracious, HOW MUCH?!
