The Restricted Area

The College Principal had set a barrier,
And warned all boys of the restricted area.
A temptation it was to boys of all ages,
To be unseen, undetected; the thrill was contagious.
The bully felt sweet sunlight on his skin,
As he dumped the year 8 in the bin.
He took great pleasure to annoy,
As he snatched lunch money off that boy.
The bully brazenly prowled the yard,
Avoiding teachers standing guard.
When wandering back to his hunting ground,
Unknown danger was lurking around.
The bird swooped down, attacking with glee,
An angry magpie; a bigger bully!
That protective bird was filled with hysteria!
The tables had turned in the restricted area.
