Schools out

I see them here I see them there

In fact I see them everywhere

Lads are loafing

Girls are glowing

Mostly with their midriff showing

Up the High Street

On the grass

Laughing, joking

Out of class

Like champagne corks

Wild and free

Full of fizz and energy

A brilliant infectious vibrancy

Frolicking mindlessly in the sun

The chatter flows from one to one

In this moment they’re having fun

Forgetting what’s next to come

They descend our shops and street

Polite but lively with all they meet

Exams forgotten on this day

They’re demob happy, hooray!
