School days were fun…

The excitement and exhilaration

Would wake me up

Before the sun.

 

Toasts, eggs, cereal,

Indian-pancakes or buns,

I’d eat anything served

And demand for none.

 

Cycling along with a friend

Used to feel more elating than  

Being on a school-bus

That’d easily transcend.

 

English and vocabulary

Were simply the best,

And chemistry was a

Mind and patience test.

 

Ancient history was an

Intriguing painting set

On a century-old canvas,

While politics was for timepass.

 

But when came the turn of

Trigonometry and calculus,

I would find desperate ways

To walk out of the class,

 

To peacefully lay on

The lush-green grass,

Before fiercely chasing

Down the evening sun.

 

Now and then, I watch

Some kids spiritedly run,

And I think to myself…

School days were fun.
