One evening after restless day at school, Checking constantly blue sky, In attention at Latin declention, Electric bell makes laggard fly. Shirt tail trailing in the breeze, Cap askew, socks halfmast, Peddling frantic, like galloping stallion Homeward bound, double fast. Black blazer, green striped tie, Knotted shoes left in a pile, On with green flash rubber soles And white shorts of immaculate style. Rummage deep through discard clothes, Find wooden handled head in rack, Then climb aboard the magic carpet, Towel round neck, racket on back. Up down, up down, twinkle toes, Up Glenesk to Eltham Park, To lob, and smash like Falkenburg, Till brown coat says, "Its much too dark". 1948 |
