At home I uncomfortably knot my tie

Wishing the day would zoom on by

I slip on my smart polished shoes

Really feeling the Monday Blues.

---

Maths is the first lesson today

I wish I was a million miles away

From algebra, fractions, division, the lot

My stomach is tying itself in a knot.

---

It’s break time, at last

But it seems to fly past

All good things in life do

Regrettably that’s true.

---

English is next, at least that’s better

Our task is to practice writing a letter

But what’s the point, it will never get sent

There are much better ways for my time to be spent.

---

Now it’s time for History

It never makes any sense to me

All those dates and wars and kings

Plus lots of other boring things.

---

Lunch now, phew!

I stand impatiently in the queue

To get my sausage, beans and mash

Then gobble it down in a flash.

---

Spellings are next

They get me really vexed

I go err, umm and emm

How d’you spell “abhorrent” again?

---

The final lesson’s Geography

Unfortunately for me

Maps are just so confusing

I end up slumped on my desk snoozing.

---

Hallelujah and hooray!

School is over for today!

As soon as I get through that door

I’m free and my life is mine once more.
