The picture brings back memories
of the good old days, of no worries
happy go lucky days- our school days!
Now, this here is a solemn occasion
everyone so serious
the school leader in a suit!
yet on normal days , school assembly
is all about scurrying to be on time
or face the wrath, cane of PT master!
Personally didn't mind the assembly
loved our school prayer that was
preceded by a few quotes from the vedas
and ending with om shanti, shanti, shanti!
There were quite a few of us though
who simply hated the assembly time
particularly those days of long speeches!
they came up with innovative ideas
conspiring with friends...
one student would 'faint'
presumably because of the heat
and others would come to his aid
support and carry to the class room
Ha, five to six boys saved from long speeches
and the summer sun above an open ground...
These, and other little mischief
within and outside the classroom
harmless pranks made up
the school days of our times...
NB: In our literary what's app group (IPC) ,it was suggested that we write a poem based on an old photograph from childhood. This is my response to the call.
Ah those carefree fun days of yore!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Deepakji for sharing your thought. Yes, it is the school days that one can look back and cherish as the most carefree days of life!
