Strange School
One day when I went to school,I felt I was a complete fool,When I walked through the school gates,Expecting to see all my mates,Instead I was greeted by a monkey,Dancing in a way that's funky,Then I Saw a polar bear in the staff room eating a pear,In the playground on the monkey bars,Swung a flock of gorgeous galahs,Twisting and turning round and round,Until they got dizzy and fell to the ground,In the sandpit layed a rat,Playing dead to fool the cats,Sitting in the sick bay,Was a revolting,raging sting ray,In the canteen baking a cake, was a scaly, slithering carpet snake,In the library reading books,Sat a bunch of fowls or chooks,Sitting on the classroom lino,Squirming sat a baby dino,In the chairs and on the mats,Sat hundreds and thousands of blood thirsty bats,When I saw a bunch of muts, I thought I'd gone completely nuts.
This school is definatly in sane.
!!!I won't come back here ever again!!!
