First Day at School

by Andrew Constantinou aged 11

Mum wakes me up,
Says it’s time to check out big school,
I grunt in reply but go back to sleep,
She comes rushing up,
Shrieks it’s 8:15.
I rush to school,
Trying to go unnoticed,
But I get put in detention,
With Ali McHenton,
Gosh, what a day,
I storm upstairs to my bedroom,
I lie face down on my bed,
Mum wakes me up,
She says it’s the first day of big school,
And I’m late!
