Most of the time was out of the classroom after being told to get out!.. So i would wander around the grounds and maybe have a smoke in the girls toilets, but since my teenage years ,,my mental health was so unstable, i was now hearing voices out of the bathroom.. When I heard them to start with, it was when i was taking a bath...they never scared me...but around 15yrs of age, they started to follow me around.. they were not constant but my head was so fucked up with my having flash backs of my early childhood and the dark times that even today I somehow believe it took my innocence away from me..and stained my soul with permanent ink...
My Grandfather was indeed a monster, and i was his victim from around 4yrs old upward.
Anyway back to what i was originally wanting to say... Of my times when actually in the classroom, in English Lesson we were given a book of Poetry from which certain poems were chosen as part of our curriculum ...but me being me,, i blanked out the teachers voice and skimmed through the book, reading short funny poems and sad long ones...then i came across this poem called "Down The Plughole" .....I read it a few times.. but god knows how i remember the whole poem to this day.. It was a comical poem that obviously grabbed my attention and probably over the period of using this Book of Poetry ..i turned to the page where i would find the poem and i expect i read it over and over... As for the poems on the curriculum I`m really not sure as to wether I learnt those, as i was supposed to.. Anyway...here it is:
A muvver was barfin 'er biby one night,
The youngest of ten and a tiny young mite,
The muvver was poor and the biby was thin,
Only a skelington covered in skin;
The muvver was poor and the biby was thin,
Only a skelington covered in skin;
The muvver turned rahnd for the soap off the rack,
She was but a moment, but when she turned back,
The biby was gorn; and in anguish she cried,
Oh, where is my biby?' - and the angels replied:
Your biby 'as fell dahn the plug-'ole,
Your biby 'as gorn dahn the plug;
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
E oughtern been barfed in a jug;
Your biby is perfeckly 'appy,
E won't need a barf any more,
Your biby 'as fell dahn the plug 'ole
Not lorst....... but gorn on before!
She was but a moment, but when she turned back,
The biby was gorn; and in anguish she cried,
Oh, where is my biby?' - and the angels replied:
Your biby 'as fell dahn the plug-'ole,
Your biby 'as gorn dahn the plug;
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
E oughtern been barfed in a jug;
Your biby is perfeckly 'appy,
E won't need a barf any more,
Your biby 'as fell dahn the plug 'ole
Not lorst....... but gorn on before!
