Dear Mr Examiner
Dear Mr Examiner
Thank you so much for your questions
I've read most carefully through
. But there isn't a single one of them
. That I know the answer to
I've written my name as instructed
Put the year , the month and the day
But after I'd finished doing that I had nothing further to say
so I thought I'd write you a letter
Fairly informally
About what I can see from my desk here
and what it's like to be me
Mandy has written ten pages
But it's probably frightful guff
And Angela Smythe is copying
The answers off the cuff.
Miss Quinlan is marking our homework
The clock keeps ticking away
I suppose to anyone outside
It's just another day
There'll be mothers going on errands
&n
bsp; Grandmothers sipping tea
Unemployed men doing crosswords
or watching ' Crown Court' on TV.
The rain has finally stopped here
The sun has started to shine
And in a back garden in Sefton Drive
A house wife hangs shirts on a line.
A class files past to play tennis
The cathedral clock has just pealed
A mover chugs backwards and forwards
Up on the hokey field
Miss Quinlan's just read what I've written
Her face is an absolute mask
Before she collects the papers in
I've a short of favour to ask.
I thought your questions were lovely
I've only myself to blame
But couldn't you give me some marks
For writing the date and my name ?
